Specialized Tarmac SL8 Expert Road Bike Description:

The Specialized Tarmac SL8 Expert is designed for speed across any ride profile. Building upon the SL7’s “one bike to rule them all” mantra, the Tarmac SL8 takes this all-around winning design and shaves weight while still prioritizing aerodynamics and stiffness. The SL8 Expert is constructed around a 1.69 kg (size 56cm) frame made from FACT 10r Carbon. While slightly heavier than its S-Works counterpart (around 320g heavier), the SL8 frame provides the same level of compliance as its big sibling. Of note, the “Speed Sniffer” front design sets the headtube back away from the leading edge of the bike, allowing for a sharper, lower drag shape. In terms of its stiffness-to-weight ratio, the SL8 provides a 33% gain over the SL7, making this bike equally suitable for all-out sprints or hillclimb finishes.

Spec’d with Shimano Ultegra Di2, the Pro model provides a high-level of electronic shifting performance (12 speed Di2 is known for its impressive battery life, ultra-fast shifting speeds, and hassle-free hydraulic brakes). On top of that, Roval C38 carbon fiber wheels provide fast-rolling efficiency and easy tubeless setup (or can still be used with tubes of course). On the whole, the SL8 is a winning formula designed to take on the most competitive races in the world.
