No bike is as fast as the Tarmac SL8, thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, light weight, and ride quality previously thought impossible. After eight generations and over two decades of development, it's not just the fastest Tarmac ever: it's the fastest road bike in the world. Are your legs ready? Aerodynamics or light weight alone don't win races—it's speed that matters. Achieving that speed requires an uncompromising combination of aerodynamics, light weight, stiffness, and compliance. Using complex simulations using real-world data, our Ride Science Team has verified that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike on any course: 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km on the flat, 128 seconds faster on the Milan-San Remo course, 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet climb. Now the fastest bike on any road is available with the new SRAM RED AXS groupset with power meter—the lightest electronic groupset—built with tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II wheels and a Roval Rapide Cockpit handlebar.
