Tarmac SL8 Frameset - FACT 10r Carbon

Tarmac SL8 Frameset - FACT 10r Carbon

Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8, thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, low weight, and ride quality previously thought impossible. After eight generations and over two decades of development, it's more than the fastest Tarmac ever — it's the world's fastest race bike. This Tarmac SL8 Frameset brings the full race platform within reach with a FACT 10r Carbon chassis: the same Rider-First Engineered™ tuning, Speed Sniffer aero shaping and race-proven geometry as the S-Works version, in a frame that's a genuinely accessible entry point into the Tarmac SL8 platform. Through race-simulation testing against real-world data, Specialized's Ride Science team found the Tarmac SL8 to be the fastest race bike ever made on the routes that matter — 16.6 seconds faster over 40km, 128 seconds faster over Milan-San Remo, and 20 seconds faster up the legendary Tourmalet climb.

Product details

Key features

• FACT 10r Carbon frame: a Rider-First Engineered™ chassis at 780 grams (size 56) — heavier than the flagship FACT 12r layup by less than 100g, while sharing the same aero shaping, geometry and ride quality.
• Speed Sniffer aero shaping: the same repositioned steer tube and sharper head tube profile as the S-Works frameset, for genuine real-world aero gains.
• Race-proven handling: World Championship-proven Tarmac geometry, unchanged from the S-Works version, so you get the same handling at a lower entry price.
• Narrow aero seatpost with integrated wedge: a UCI-legal, low-drag S-Works FACT Carbon post keeps dirty air flowing cleanly around the legs.
• 32mm tyre clearance: genuine room for wider rubber without sacrificing the SL8's race-bike handling.
• Ready to build: 68mm threaded bottom bracket and flat-mount disc brakes for simple, no-hassle integration into your own build.
• Frame: FACT 10r Carbon, Rider First Engineered™, 780g (size 56)
• Fork: FACT 10r Carbon, 12x100mm thru-axle, flat-mount disc
