Specialized – Tarmac SL8 Pro Ultegra Di2

Etter åtte generasjoner og over to tiår med utvikling har Specialized utviklet den raskeste Tarmacen noen sinne, SL8.

Ved hjelp av løpssimuleringer fra den virkelige verden vet man at
Tarmac SL8 er den raskeste racersykkelen som noen gang er laget i rittene som betyr noe – 128 sekunder
raskere enn konkurrentene over Milan San Remo og 20 sekunder raskere enn konkurrentene over den legendariske Tourmalet-stigningen.

Å levere den hastigheten krever at man skaper en kompromissløs kombinasjon av aerodynamikk, lettvekt og stivhet. Optimalisert for maksimal aerodynamikk med Tarmacs nye nesekjegle – “Speed Sniffer”.
Ved å flytte styrerøret bakover – røret som bestemmer headtubens bredde – kan forkanten av headtuben bli mye skarpere, og dermed gi mye lavere drag.

MINIMUM VEKT, MAKSIMAL AERO: Tarmac SL8 tok lærdom fra Aethos for å kunne bygges med UCIs kriterier, bare med en fullt aero oppsett.
Teamet leverte en ramme på 685 gram – 15 % lettere enn Tarmac SL7 og lettere enn noe annet på World Tour.

“GOES LIKE HELL, RIDES LIKE HEAVEN: With massive gains in stiffness-to-weight – an improvement of 33% over the SL7 – the Tarmac SL8 takes legendary handling, aggressive responsiveness and World Championship proven geometry to the next level. The bike is stiffer at the pedals, more precise at the bars, and combines it with a compliant ride in the saddle that sets a new benchmark for race bike comfort. Thanks to our Rider-First Engineering, every rider, regardless of size, gets the same unprecedented ride quality and handling. In the saddle the Tarmac SL8 delivers 6% more compliance, floating over rough road with a supple feel unique in the high strung world of race bikes. Tarmac’s proven geometry and 32mm tire clearance are identical to the SL7, ensuring easy adaptation and the versatility to run higher volume tires when needed.

BEYOND GENDER: There can be more difference between two male cyclists than between a male and female. Gender alone doesn’t provide nearly enough data to specialize and that means creating male or female bikes is arbitrary and outdated. Every rider can get the next level advantage of Tarmac SL8. It’s time to go Beyond Gender. The Tarmac SL8 Pro delivers exceptional performance with a full Shimano Ultegra 8100 series Di2 groupset with power meter, Roval Rapide CL II tubeless-ready wheelset, and a Roval Rapide Handlebar with an SL7 stem. You’re ready to race out of the box.”
