Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 Forward 50 LTD Road Bike Celebrating 50 years of innovation and setting sights on the next 50, the Tarmac SL8 Forward 50 LTD embodies a commitment to advancing cycling technology. As the fastest, most innovative road race bike globally, the Tarmac SL8 is the ultimate platform. AERO IN EVERYTHING: Aero optimization is crucial, particularly at the leading edge. The Tarmac SL8 is our most aerodynamic road bike ever, surpassing even the Venge. The new nose cone, the Speed Sniffer, maximizes clean air advantage by moving the steer tube back, allowing for a sharper, lower drag head tube. Utilizing new UCI rules, the Tarmac SL8 features the narrowest, most aero seat post, ensuring smooth airflow around the legs. MINIMUM WEIGHT, MAXIMUM AERO: Inspired by the Aethos, the Tarmac SL8 is designed to meet the UCI minimum weight with a full aero setup. The frame weighs a mere 685 grams-;15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than any other World Tour bike. Prioritizing lightweight construction, especially in the down tube, seat tube, and rear, has allowed for a frame shape that efficiently carries loads, eliminating the need for extra carbon stiffness layers. GOES LIKE HELL, RIDES LIKE HEAVEN: The Tarmac SL8 boasts a 33% improvement in stiffness-to-weight over the SL7, enhancing handling, responsiveness, and World Championship-proven geometry. The bike is stiffer at the pedals and more precise at the bars, while offering unparalleled ride comfort. Rider-First Engineering ensures every rider experiences the same exceptional ride quality and handling, regardless of size. With 6% more compliance, the Tarmac SL8 provides a supple ride over rough roads. Proven geometry and 32mm tire clearance ensure adaptability and versatility.
