Leggi di piùNessuna bicicletta è veloce quanto il Tarmac SL8 grazie a una combinazione di aerodinamica, leggerezza e qualità di guida precedentemente ritenuta impossibile. Dopo otto generazioni e oltre due decenni di sviluppo, non è solo il Tarmac più veloce di sempre: è la bici da corsa più veloce del mondo. Le tue gambe sono pronte? L’aerodinamica o la leggerezza da sole non vincono le gare: ciò che conta è la velocità. Per ottenere questa velocità è necessario creare una combinazione senza compromessi di aerodinamicità, leggerezza, rigidità e assorbimento delle sollecitazioni. Grazie a complesse simulazioni che utilizzano dati reali, il nostro Ride Science Team ha verificato che il Tarmac SL8 è la bici da corsa più veloce su qualsiasi percorso: – 16,6 secondi su 40 km di pianura, 128 secondi più veloce sul percorso della Milano-Sanremo, 20 secondi più veloce sulla salita del Tourmalet. AERO IN EVERYTHING: We’re putting aero where it matters – the leading edge – not just where it looks good. In the process we’ve created our most aerodynamic road bike ever. Yes, it’s more aero than the Venge. Clean air is optimized for maximum advantage with the Tarmac’s new nose cone – the Speed Sniffer. By moving the steer tube back – the tube that determines head tube width – the leading edge of the head tube can be much sharper, delivering a much lower drag shape. Utilizing new UCI rules, the Tarmac SL8 has the narrowest, most aero seat post we’ve ever made ensuring fast moving, dirty air around the legs can flow back more cleanly. Doesn’t victory smell sweet? MINIMUM WEIGHT, MAXIMUM AERO: Tarmac SL8 took learnings from Aethos to be easily built at the UCI minimum with a full aero set up. The team delivered a mind bending, scale tickling 685 gram frame – 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than anything on else on the World Tour*. With the ability to make lightweight a top priority in the down tube, seat tube, and rear of the bike lessons from Aethos were applied. The frame’s shape carries load so efficiently that extra carbon stiffness layers become redundant. *Unless of course you count the time Kasper Asgreen raced our 585 gram Aethos frame during a Tour stage. 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. 68mm threaded bottom bracket, flat mount disc brakes, and no-hassle seamless integration — the S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset is the ultimate starting point for your dream build.
