Out of all my bikes. Sl3 sl6 Venge, Venge Vias, 3rd gen Venge, sl7. This bike has exceeded the expectations and everyone who goes to it loves th ebike
As always thanks for your videos!! I also have an SL8 and I’m pretty happy with it. Thinking about buying a Darimo 0 offset seatpost. What is your experience with the 0 offset seatpost? Is it as comfortable as the original S- Works seatpost with 15 offset? Regards from Spain 🤙🏼

I kanda agree with you. Since I get into Specialized bikes, I had 4 different ones, I owned an Alley P.Sagan Edition, a Roubaix and I wanted a very good climbing bike so I bought an Aethos, when they lunched the SL8 I say this is the bike to buy it will do all and it does delivery, for me this is the best bike than ever have before, the bike is lightweight to climb, very aero, incredibly responsive when you need it and comfortable, I’m using it with low profile wheels 35mm and it weight 14.5lb same version like your
The worst so far .

GC Performance could you compare the comfort/compliance between the S-works frame and the Pro frame (SL8). Thanks.
What width bars on your SL8? @GC Performance18
just out of ceriousity: what are the wheels?
Where to get those chainring?
How do you like the LV bartape
would love to compare it to the SUPER SIX – seems very similar
I was going to wait for the SL9, because I wanted to run sram transmission (assuming SL9 gets UDH), but I read that sram say transmission doesn't work with chainstays under 425mm.. so if you ride 56cm frame then the tarmac is going to be under that minimum.. I really wanted a 1x mullet (50t with 10-52) with transmission. But now I think why not just get an SL8 and do it with the older AXS, would probably be a bit cheaper anyway, but I just love the look of transmission.. the flat top chain, the awesome derailleur design..
GC, do you think there's any performance difference between the S-Works frame and the Pro frame besides the 100g weight difference – like, is there anything else I'm getting for spending more on the S-Works frame rather than the pro one?
Thanks!
Stiffness, something your wife knows nothing about 😁
WARP SPEED WARP SPEED !!!
How on earth did you get that under 7? My stock one is 7.7…
Where did you get the Varia mount?
Coming off the SL6 SWorks, my SL8 Pro is the most comfortable bike I’ve ever ridden. I test rode an Aethos first and was blown away by it until I test rode the SL8 the following weekend. Such an awesome bike.
Hi, been looking for a Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro, and decided to go for it, but the sizes confuses me, i'm 178 cm/ 5'10 and seat height 77 cm
Specialized says 56, others tell me to go for 54. Soon turning 60 years old and not the most flexible guy in 🇧🇻 thx for informative videos 👍🚴
WARP SPEED 🗣🗣🗣
I prefer 0 setback..but why did you go with a 0 setback on your seatpost??? Just curious 😅
Hello GC Performance, I hope this message reaches you. The seat post and handlebars appear to be third-party products. Could you let me know which products they are? Thank you.
Hey! Is this a stock cockpit you got there or did you add it?
What rear light are you running?
Great channel! Love the content. I bought an SL8 expert di2 in part because of your videos. Im happy.
What’s that colour . Is it white or silver?
Do you use any wrap protection?
Nice bike. What size is the frame?
what Chain ring is that one i just build a 2025 Allez i live in Ca LA i use it for crits and im looking for a 52 or 53 Chaing ring that is compatible with Sram Force thanks
What brand of taillight bracket do you use? Please tell me 🙏
Thank you x your videos!!
Question: what is that handle bar ? Looks great
Just another Toyota, just another Spesh.
It’ll be the best till the Tarmac SL 9 comes along…
no
Did you slam your stem? Looks much better than before!
1:46 Aero wheels right across the board are bad for hill climbs. Throw on some Roval SL. Crush hills.
Hi, I'm looking at this bike (tarmac sl8 expert) and the Cervelo caledonia 5. Can you recommend which bike might be better? I'm not looking to race but I want to buy something that I can ride comfortably and also be fast on the climbs and flats.
Aesthetically, no. Performance-wise….yes.
I recently rode the new SL8. It’s a nice bike! Still I think my 2024 Cannondale Evo 2 with 45mm Bora WTOs is 95% of this bike for a lot less money.
Good review but 6.7 kg with 60 mm deep rims !! 🧐 and a special build with 30 mm wheels and standard Durace at sub 5.9 mmm🥱🥱🥱 I don’t think so
What kind of bar tape is that?
I've been very pleased with mine. I was thinking I would go for an aero-thoroughbred (Giant propel, Canyon Aeroad, Cervelo S5 etc.), but thought long and hard about the kind of riding I do, and the kind of roads this is on > which is by and large terrible road surfaces on undulating lanes in the UK. The compliance / comfort has been very noticeable in these circumstances
