Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro

While the SL8 Pro is engineered for racing, its carbon layup is designed to balance stiffness with compliance. This means it absorbs road vibration well, making it capable of handling long training days and endurance rides without leaving you feeling beaten up.

The power meter is built directly into the crankset, providing accurate, real-time data on your power output. It pairs seamlessly with most cycling computers via ANT+ or Bluetooth, allowing you to track your training metrics without needing to install aftermarket sensors.

Yes, the bike features a tubeless-ready wheelset. While it may ship with tubes depending on your local dealer's setup, the rims and tires are designed to be converted to tubeless, which we recommend for better puncture protection and lower rolling resistance.

The FACT 10r carbon offers an exceptional balance of weight and stiffness that is race-ready for almost any rider. While Specialized's top-tier S-Works models use a lighter carbon grade, the 10r frame provides nearly identical aerodynamic performance and handling characteristics at a more accessible weight penalty.

The SRAM Force AXS system is highly customizable through the SRAM AXS app. You can adjust shift settings, check battery levels, and even update firmware wirelessly, giving you full control over your drivetrain's performance.

The hydraulic disc brakes offer consistent, powerful stopping performance regardless of the weather. Unlike rim brakes, they provide excellent modulation and reliability on steep descents or in wet, rainy conditions.
