The Tarmac SL8 Expert Di2 is built for competitive and serious road riders who want race-bike aerodynamics and stiffness for climbs like Myra Canyon or local gran fondos through the Okanagan valley. Its electronic Ultegra Di2 groupset and full aero package make it especially appealing to riders who already understand fit and performance and want a proven race platform rather than a first road bike.

We'll also set tire pressure appropriate for the S-Works Turbo 700x26mm tyres and Roval C38 wheels based on your weight and the roads you're riding.
