The Tarmac SL8 stands unrivaled in speed, blending aerodynamics, light weight, and an outstanding ride quality that was once deemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of refinement, it's not just the fastest Tarmac yet - it's the world's premier race bike. Are your legs ready for this speed demon? Winning races isn't about aerodynamics or light weight alone; it's all about raw speed. Achieving such speed demands a perfect mix of aerodynamics, light weight, stiffness, and compliance. Using real - world data in race simulations, our Ride Science team has proven that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest race bike on the most crucial routes. It shaves 16.6 seconds off a 40km ride, 128 seconds on the Milan San Remo course, and 20 seconds on the iconic Tourmalet climb.
Using the Tarmac SL8 is easy. Just hop on, adjust your seat and handlebars to a comfortable position, and you're ready to hit the road. When riding, make sure to keep your body in an aerodynamic position to fully utilize its speed - boosting features. As for maintenance, regularly clean your bike after each ride to prevent dirt and grime from building up. Check the brakes, gears, and tires frequently to ensure they're in good working condition. Keep the chain lubricated for smooth gear shifts. Store your bike in a dry place to avoid rust and damage. If you're not sure about any maintenance tasks, it's always a good idea to take it to a professional bike mechanic.
