Why we like the Specialized Tarmac SL8 Expert SRAM Force AXS
Aero gains where it counts
The Speed Sniffer head tube and aero seatpost make the SL8 more aero than even the Venge — this bike is engineered for speed at the front.
Race performance, real-world comfort
With 6% more compliance in the saddle and 33% better stiffness-to-weight than the SL7, the ride is both fast and forgiving.
Premium spec at the expert level
SRAM Force AXS shifting, Roval C38 wheels, and a FACT 10r carbon frame mean you’re getting pro-level performance without going full S-Works.
