S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset

Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8 thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, and ride quality previously thought impossible. After eight generations and over two decades of development, it’s more than the fastest Tarmac ever - it’s the world’s fastest race bike. Your legs up for it?

Aerodynamics or lightweight alone don’t win races - speed is what matters. Delivering that speed requires creating an uncompromising combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, stiffness, and compliance. Through race simulations using real world data our Ride Science team knows the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest race bike ever made on the routes that matter - 16.6 seconds faster over 40km, 128 seconds faster over Milan San Remo, 20 seconds faster over the legendary Tourmalet climb.

AERO IN EVERYTHING: We’re putting aero where it matters - the leading edge - not just where it looks good. In the process we’ve created our most aerodynamic road bike ever. Yes, it’s more aero than the Venge. Clean air is optimized for maximum advantage with the Tarmac’s new nose cone - the Speed Sniffer. By moving the steer tube back - the tube that determines head tube width - the leading edge of the head tube can be much sharper, delivering a much lower drag shape. Utilizing new UCI rules, the Tarmac SL8 has the narrowest, most aero seat post we’ve ever made ensuring fast moving, dirty air around the legs can flow back more cleanly. Doesn’t victory smell sweet?
MINIMUM WEIGHT, MAXIMUM AERO: Tarmac SL8 took learnings from Aethos to be easily built at the UCI minimum with a full aero set up. The team delivered a mind bending, scale tickling 685 gram frame - 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than anything on else on the World Tour*. With the ability to make lightweight a top priority in the down tube, seat tube, and rear of the bike lessons from Aethos were applied. The frame’s shape carries load so efficiently that extra carbon stiffness layers become redundant. *Unless of course you count the time Kasper Asgreen raced our 585 gram Aethos frame during a Tour stage.
GOES LIKE HELL, RIDES LIKE HEAVEN: With massive gains in stiffness-to-weight - an improvement of 33% over the SL7 - the Tarmac SL8 takes legendary handling, aggressive responsiveness and World Championship proven geometry to the next level. The bike is stiffer at the pedals, more precise at the bars, and combines it with a compliant ride in the saddle that sets a new benchmark for race bike comfort. Thanks to our Rider-First Engineering, every rider, regardless of size, gets the same unprecedented ride quality and handling. In the saddle the Tarmac SL8 delivers 6% more compliance, floating over rough road with a supple feel unique in the high strung world of race bikes. Tarmac’s proven geometry and 32mm tire clearance are identical to the SL7, ensuring easy adaptation and the versatility to run higher volume tires when needed.
BEYOND GENDER: There can be more difference between two male cyclists than between a male and female. Gender alone doesn’t provide nearly enough data to specialize and that means creating male or female bikes is arbitrary and outdated. Every rider can get the next level advantage of Tarmac SL8. It’s time to go Beyond Gender.
68mm threaded bottom bracket, flat mount disc brakes, and no-hassle seamless integration — the S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset is the ultimate starting point for your dream build.

過去被認為不可能完美結合的「氣動力學」、「輕量」和「騎乘品質」，如今 Tarmac SL8 做到了，並創造出前所未聞的速度。經過八個世代和二十多年的發展，它不僅是有史以來最快的 Tarmac - 也是世界上最速競賽車。您準備好要騎上它了嗎？

只靠氣動力學或輕量並不能贏得比賽 - 速度才是關鍵。要產生這樣的速度，就需要將氣動力學、輕量、剛性和順應性毫無妥協地結合起來。透過現實世界數據進行複雜的模擬，我們的 Ride Science 團隊明確知道 Tarmac SL8 是有史以來在重要賽道上最速競賽公路車 - 40 公里內快 16.6 秒、Milan - San Remo 古典賽快 128 秒、傳奇性的 Tourmalet 爬坡段快 20 秒。

Aero In Everything空力即是一切：我們將空力設計放在關鍵部位 - 前緣 - 而不只是在看起來很炫的位置。在此過程中，我們創造了有史以來最具空力性能的公路車。是的，甚至比 Venge 還要空力。Tarmac 以新型鼻錐 - Speed Sniffer - 最佳化氣流產生最大優勢。透過將前叉上管向後移動 - 此部位決定頭管寬度 - 頭管前緣就可以變得更加尖銳，產生更低阻力的形狀。在符合UCI 的新規範下，SL8 具有我們迄今為止製造的最窄、最具空力性能的座管，確保腿部周圍快速移動的亂流氣更容易向後流動。這邁向勝利的滋味聞起來不香嗎？

最低重量，最強空力：Tarmac SL8 借鑑從 Aethos 上學到的經驗，能以 UCI 最低標準組裝出完整的空力設定。研發團隊交出了一款令人乍舌 685 克的車架 - 比 Tarmac SL7 輕 15%，比 World Tour 中其他車架都還要輕*。由於將下管、立管和車後部輕量化視為首要任務，因此應用了 Aethos 的研發經驗。車架的管型形狀能夠如此高效地承擔負載，因此額外提高剛性的碳纖疊層就變得多餘。

*除非您把 Kasper Asgreen 在環法分站使用我們 585 克 Aethos 車架的成績算進去。
