This Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 Black Edition isn't just any road bike - it's a top-of-the-line machine built with an eye for detail, speed and exclusivity. Not only is it equipped with the most advanced components currently available, but it also comes in a size and colorway that is only available for a very limited time. The new price of this model is around 16,500 euros, putting it at the absolute top of the market. The combination of the limited SL8 frame, the SRAM RED AXS Team Edition groupset, the Roval Rapide CLX wheels and the complete Ceramicspeed upgrades make this bike a unique bike that is rarely found on the used market - especially not in this composition and size. About the S-Works Tarmac SL8 - the lightest and fastest Tarmac ever The Tarmac SL8 is the latest evolution of Specialized's legendary Tarmac line and is considered by many to be the benchmark for all-round road bikes. What makes the SL8 so special? Lighter than ever: The frame weighs only ~685 g (in size 56), making it one of the lightest production race frames on the market. Faster in the wind: Thanks to aero innovations such as the Speed Sniffer nose (a lower head tube) and an optimized cockpit, the SL8 is even more aerodynamic than the previous Venge - Specialized's aero bike. Stiffer and more comfortable: The frame offers more pedal stiffness, while the rear stays are more flexible for more comfort on long rides. This makes the bike suitable for both explosive races and long endurance rides. The SL8 therefore combines the best of three worlds: Weight, aerodynamics and comfort - something that few frames manage to do really well. ⚙️ Top components - professionally assembled SRAM RED AXS Team Edition groupset SRAM's lightest and most advanced electronic groupset, wireless shifting, including dual-sided power meter - perfect for serious training and analysis.
