Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset

Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset Overview

The Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset is a premium road bike frameset built around an S-Works FACT 12r carbon frame and matching FACT 12r carbon fork. It is designed as a dedicated platform for a high-performance road build, with Rider First Engineered construction, Win Tunnel Engineered tube shaping, clean routing, flat-mount disc standards, and thru-axle frame architecture.

The frameset uses a 68mm threaded bottom bracket and includes Ceramic Speed SLT headset bearings for a refined frame foundation. The frame also carries the same 32mm tire clearance stated for the Tarmac SL8, giving the build room for higher-volume road tires when required.

For cockpit and fit-related frame parts, the module includes an S-Works Tarmac SL8 carbon seat post with FACT Carbon construction and 15mm offset, plus the Tarmac integrated wedge. A stem headset spacers kit for SL7 stem and Roval Rapide cockpit use is also included.
