The limited edition Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 LTD - Forward 50 Collection is not just a bike, it's a statement. Born from our 50-year long commitment to innovation, this road race bike symbolises our pledge to continue creating better experiences for riders worldwide. Encapsulating speed, aerodynamics, and precision, this is Specialized at its best.

The Forward 50 LTD design honours Specialized's golden jubilee with its bold gold and pink graphics that narrate our journey. Owning one of these bikes is to be part of an exclusive club – with only 250 available worldwide. It encapsulates our core ethos of innovation and determination, and the promise to carry that forward.

Every aspect of this bike is carefully selected to ensure optimum speed and performance. Equipped with Rapide CLX II Team wheels, S-Works Power with Mirror saddle, S-Works Tarmac SL8 seatpost, Turbo clinchers, a Rapide cockpit, and a Shimano Dura-Ace 12-speed group – all custom painted to match the frame. Embracing advancements, we’ve adopted Ceramic Speed bearings to squeeze out any extra velocity.

The Tarmac SL8 has been crafted to optimise speed, knowing that the biggest wins don’t come from aerodynamics or lightweight frames alone. Its design is the product of intricate data analysis and race simulations, proving to be the fastest race bike ever made.

  • Maximum Aero, Minimum Weight: This road beast takes aerodynamics seriously, featuring the narrowest, most aero seat post ever created by Specialized. Despite being built at the UCI minimum with a full aero setup, it boasts a strikingly lightweight frame of mere 685 grams.
  • Supreme Handling: Tarmac SL8 outscores its predecessor with a whopping 33% improvement in stiffness-to-weight ratio, delivering exceptional handling and responsiveness. Balanced with 6% more compliance, it offers a comfortable ride unrivalled in the race bike world.
  • Beyond Gender: Spectacular riding experiences should not be bound by gender. With the Tarmac SL8, we embrace diversity and inclusivity, promising an unparalleled advantage to all riders.

With the Tarmac SL8, you don't just get a bike – you join a movement. Be part of our journey towards an exhilarating future of cycling. The road ahead never looked this promising!
