Backed by real-world race simulations and decades of development, this is the fastest Tarmac ever - and the fastest race bike on the planet.

Key Features:

• World-Leading Speed: 16.6 seconds faster over 40km, 128 seconds faster over Milan-San Remo, and 20 seconds faster up the Tourmalet than the SL7- data-proven by Specialized Ride Science.
• Optimized Aerodynamics: The new "Speed Sniffer" nose cone moves the steerer tube back for a sharper head tube profile. A refined seatpost design and frame shaping reduce drag across the entire bike.
• Featherweight Frame: At just 685 grams, the SL8 frame is 15% lighter than the SL7 and among the lightest in the WorldTour. Lessons from the Aethos make it stiff, strong, and race-ready at the UCI weight limit.
• Balanced Ride Quality: The SL8 improves stiffness-to-weight ratio by 33% over the SL7 and adds 6% more compliance in the saddle. The result is precise handling with surprising comfort over rough roads.
• Rider-First Engineering: Every frame size is individually tuned to deliver consistent performance and handling across the full size range.
• Modern Fit and Tire Clearance: Shared geometry and 32mm tire clearance with the SL7 offer confidence-inspiring handling and room for bigger tires.
• Inclusive Design: The SL8 is designed for riders of all genders, based on performance data - not assumptions.

Build Highlights:

• Full SRAM Force AXS electronic groupset with integrated power meter
• Roval Rapide CL III tubeless-ready carbon wheels
• Roval Rapide carbon integrated cockpit
