Our Rider-First Engineering philosophy ensures that every rider—regardless of gender—can enjoy the advantages of the Tarmac SL8. While traditional bikes often create gender-based distinctions, we believe that rider size and style matter more. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or an aspiring racer, the Tarmac SL8 ensures a personalized ride tailored to your unique needs.
Stiffness, Compliance, and Speed
The Tarmac SL8 delivers a 33% improvement in stiffness-to-weight ratio over the previous SL7, resulting in precise handling, exceptional pedal efficiency, and a comfortable ride. The frame delivers 6% more compliance, smoothing out rough roads and offering a supple ride. Tarmac’s geometry and 32mm tire clearance ensure that this bike can be adapted to different riding conditions, whether you're tackling smooth tarmac or rougher terrain.
Lightweight Frame with Maximum Aero
At just 7.44 kg (16 lb, 6.4 oz), the Tarmac SL8 is built with a FACT 10r carbon frame that’s 15% lighter than its predecessor, the SL7. This lightweight frame is designed to offer maximum aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing strength or rigidity, making it the perfect race companion for climbing, sprints, and long rides. The frame’s geometry efficiently carries load, eliminating the need for additional carbon stiffness layers.
