The shop's feature list
- Specialized Tarmac SL8 Expert Gloss Metallic Dark Navy / Astral Blue Pearl 2024
- Das Tarmac SL8 ist unschlagbar schnell. Die fortschrittlichste Aerodynamik und das geringe Gewicht ergeben eine Fahrqualität, die unerreichbar erschien. Nach acht Generationen und mehr als zwanzig Jahren Entwicklung ist es nicht nur das schnellste Tarmac, das es je gab, es ist das schnellste Rennrad der Welt. Bist du bereit?
- Aerodynamik und geringes Gewicht allein entscheiden keine Rennen an der Ziellinie kommt es auf die Geschwindigkeit an.
- Um auf Race-Speed zu kommen, ist eine ganz bestimmte Balance aus Aerodynamik, Leichtigkeit, Steifigkeit und Nachgiebigkeit
- Unser Ride Science Team hat durch Rennsimulationen anhand realer Daten herausgefunden, dass das Tarmac SL8 auf den entscheidenden Strecken das schnellste Rennrad ist, das je gebaut wurde.
- Ganze 16,6 Sekunden schneller auf 40 km, 128 Sekunden schneller bei Milano und Sanremo und 20 Sekunden schneller auf den Tourmalet
