Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 LTD bicycle - Red Bull - BORA - Hansgrohe Edition

• AERODYNAMICS : Specialized uses aerodynamics where it counts, and in the process has created their fastest road bike ever—yes, more aero than the Venge. The front end has been optimized to give it the maximum advantage. The fork steerer tube is positioned further back than the front of the frame's head tube, resulting in significantly lower aerodynamic drag. Thanks to new UCI rules, the SL8 was able to use the narrowest, most aerodynamic seatpost we've ever made, ensuring that turbulent air in the lower leg area can flow more easily toward the rear of the bike.
• LIGHTWEIGHT : To create the Tarmac SL8, we took inspiration from what we learned with the Aethos and built the most aerodynamic bike possible while meeting the UCI’s minimum weight requirement. The team achieved a 685-gram frameset that’s 15 percent lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than any other bike on the World Tour*. Focusing on keeping the downtube, seat tube, and tailtube as light as possible, they incorporated lessons learned from the Aethos design. The frame’s shapes respond so efficiently to stresses and strains that they were able to shave away material thickness and eliminate anything unnecessary. *With the exception of one time when Kasper Asgreen rode the 585-gram Aethos during a Tour stage.
• RIDE QUALITY : The Tarmac SL8 has a 33% better stiffness-to-weight ratio than the SL7. The Tarmac SL8 sets a new benchmark for handling, precise in the most demanding situations, and responsive and efficient in every pedal stroke. While the areas that support power transfer and precise steering are stiffer than ever, the Tarmac SL8 is more comfortable in the saddle, filtering out 6% more shocks from the ground, allowing you to attack corners with a more agile and balanced feel than any other road bike. The new Tarmac SL8 retains the proven geometry of the SL7, with the same generous 32mm tire clearance, so you can run larger volume tires when needed.
• The S-Works Tarmac LTD, Red-Bull Bora-Hansgrohe Edition features a SRAM Red AXS drivetrain—the world’s lightest electronic groupset with power meter—plus tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II Team wheels and a Roval Rapide Cockpit.
