Tarmac SL8 Force AXS Carbon Wheel Exclusive Road Bike

The Specialized Tarmac SL8 Force AXS Carbon Wheel Exclusive is a race-oriented road bike built around a Specialized FACT 10r carbon frame and matching fork, delivering a 33% stiffness-to-weight improvement over the previous SL7 generation. The frame accepts tires up to 32mm wide and comes fitted with Specialized S-Works Turbo TLR 700x28c tires with tan sidewalls. Wireless shifting comes courtesy of the SRAM Force E1 AXS 2x groupset, which includes a 48/35t DUB AXS crankset with integrated power meter, a 12-speed rear derailleur, and an XG-1270 10-36t cassette. Hydraulic disc braking uses SRAM Paceline Rounded Centerlock 160mm rotors with 12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear thru-axles. The ENVE SES 4.5 Disc wheelset pairs a 50mm-deep front rim with a 56mm-deep rear, both laced 24-hole to ENVE INNERDRIVE straight-pull hubs. An ENVE SES AR one-piece handlebar and stem routes all cables internally for a clean cockpit. The Specialized S-Works Power 143mm saddle and S-Works Tarmac SL8 carbon seatpost with 15mm offset complete the build. A limited 2-year warranty applies, extendable to lifetime coverage with registration within 90 days.
