Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 - SRAM RED AXS

Beschreibung

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 20 years of development, it is more than the fastest Tarmac ever: it is the fastest road bike in the world. 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 flexibility. Through race simulations using real-world data, our Ride Science team knows that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road 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 . Now meet the world's fastest road bike a SRAM RED AXS groupset with power meter - the lightest electronic groupset ever - and a Roval Rapide CLX II tubeless-ready wheelset. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models come with a Roval Rapide cockpit to save weight and for the fastest possible lead. - AERO IN ALL: We bring aero where it matters: the leading edge, not just where it looks good. In the process, we created our most aerodynamic road bike ever. Yes, it's more aerodynamic than the Venge. Clean air is optimised for maximum benefit with the Tarmac's new nose cone: the Speed Sniffer. Moving the steerer tube backwards - the tube that determines the width of the head tube - allows the leading edge of the head tube to be much sharper, creating much lower drag. Taking advantage of new UCI rules, the Tarmac SL8 has the narrowest, most aerodynamic seatpost we have ever made, allowing fast-moving, dirty air around the legs to flow back cleaner. Doesn't victory smell sweet? - MINIMUM WEIGHT, MAXIMUM AERO: Tarmac SL8 learned from Aethos to be easily built at the UCI minimum with a full aero setup. The team delivered a mind-blowing, shell-shocked frame weighing 685g - 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than anything 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, the lessons of Aethos were applied. The shape of the frame carries the load so efficiently that additional carbon stiffness layers become unnecessary. *Unless of course you count the time Kasper Asgreen rode our 585-gram Aethos frame on a Tour stage. - GOES AS HELL, RIDES AS HEAVEN: With huge gains in stiffness relative to weight - an improvement of 33% over the SL7 - the Tarmac SL8 takes the legendary handling, aggressive responsiveness and World Championship-proven geometry to the next level. The bike is stiffer at the pedals, more precise at the handlebars, and combines this with a smooth ride in the saddle that sets a new benchmark for road 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 6% delivers more flexibility and floats over rough roads with a smooth feel that is unique in the edgy world of road cycling. The Tarmac's tried-and-tested geometry and 32 mm tyre clearance are identical to those of the SL7, providing easy adjustment and the versatility to use larger-volume tyres if needed. - FOREVER: There can be more difference between two male cyclists than between a man and a woman. Gender alone does not provide nearly enough data to specialise, and that means making male or female bikes arbitrary and outdated. Any rider can achieve the next level advantage of Tarmac SL8. It's time to move beyond gender. - S-Works Tarmac SL8 is specified with only the best components. A full SRAM RED AXS group with power meter - the lightest electronic group ever - and a Roval Rapide CLX II tubeless-ready wheelset are the perfect complement to the world's fastest frame. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models come with a Roval Rapide cockpit to save weight and for the fastest possible lead.
