S-Works Tarmac SL8 Project Black LTD Frameset

S-Works Tarmac SL8 Project Black LTD Frameset

We deliver! Just say when and how.

Prior to unveiling the ground breaking Tarmac SL8 and its unparalleled combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, and ride quality, we relied on feedback from our most trusted athletes to validate our designs. We made the first two for Remco Evenepoel and Demi Vollering to race the 2023 UCI World Road Championships. Now, for the very first time, a limited amount of these Project Black framesets are being made available to riders everywhere. While an S-Works Tarmac SL8 in every way, to ensure secrecy prior to launch, these frames don’t wear the Tarmac name, and even the official UCI sticker calls out the bike’s ‘prototype’ status.

One Bike to Rule Them All

Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8 thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, 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. Your legs up for it?

Project Black

Specialized relies on feedback from professional athletes in both developing and testing advanced pre-production products in real-world applications. With this top-level feedback, some of these design elements and products eventually show up in future retail product offerings. We call this Project Black.

Made in Racing

We develop our bikes and equipment hand-in-hand with the best riders in the world. Usually reserved for a handful of the best racers in the world - we made the first two of these Project Black frames for Remco Evenepoel and Demi Vollering - but for the very first time we’re making Project Black available to you.
