Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro Shimano Ultegra Di2 Road Bike 2026, Grey. Specialized Reference Number: 94926-1252
Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8. The reason? The combination we've achieved of aerodynamics, lightness, and a ride quality that until recently seemed impossible. Eight generations later and after more than two decades of development, it's not just the fastest Tarmac in history: it's also the fastest race bike in the world.
Races aren't won by aerodynamics or lightness alone: it's speed that matters. And to achieve that, you have to create an uncompromising combination of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and comfort. Our Ride Science team simulated races with real-world data and found the Tarmac SL8 to be the fastest road bike ever built on the biggest roads: 16.6 seconds faster over 40km, 128 seconds faster at Milano San Remo, and 20 seconds faster on the legendary Tourmalet climb.
The Tarmac SL8 Pro Shimano Ultegra Di2 delivers exceptional performance thanks to its full Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-speed groupset with power meter, tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CL III wheels, and integrated Roval Rapide cockpit. Ready to compete from the first moment.
