Specialized Tarmac SL8 S-Works Frameset (Ready to Paint)

Specialized Tarmac SL8 S-Works Frameset (Ready to Paint) Features

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?
• 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?
••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specialize and that means creating male or female bikes is arbitrary and outdated.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.
• The Satin Carbon/Snake Eye colorway is the lightest finish we offer on an S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset. It’s also the perfect canvas if you are craving custom paint. This is our RTP—Ready To Paint—colorway, allowing you to imagine the build, colors, and design of your dreams, then work with a custom painter to make it a reality.
