S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset FACT 12r Carbon 2026

The S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset is the ultimate foundation for building the fastest road bike in the world. Designed with a relentless focus on aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and ride quality, this frameset delivers uncompromising performance for serious road riders.

At Mackay Cycles, the S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset is the go-to choice for riders wanting to build a dream bike with complete control over components, fit, and performance. Whether you're chasing podiums or the ultimate riding experience, this is as good as it gets.

Through real-world race simulations, Specialized’s Ride Science team confirmed the SL8 is faster where it matters most—saving time across climbs, flats, and long-distance efforts. It’s built for speed in every scenario.

Why you'll love it

  • World’s fastest race bike platform with unmatched aero, weight, and stiffness balance
  • S-Works FACT 12r carbon frame for elite-level performance
  • Ultra-lightweight construction starting around 685g (frame)
  • Rider-First Engineered™ for consistent handling across all sizes
  • 32mm tyre clearance for modern versatility and comfort
  • Perfect starting point for a premium custom road build

Performance Highlights

Aero in Everything
Advanced aerodynamic shaping, including the Speed Sniffer nose cone, reduces drag and maximises real-world speed gains.

Minimum Weight, Maximum Speed
Inspired by the Aethos, the SL8 achieves an ultra-light frame weight while maintaining stiffness and aerodynamic efficiency.

Ride Quality Meets Race Performance
Improved stiffness-to-weight and compliance deliver precise handling, strong power transfer, and comfort on longer rides.

Beyond Gender Design
Built for all riders, focusing purely on performance rather than outdated gender-based categories.

Full Shipping Policy

1. General Shipping Information

All online orders are processed and shipped from our Mackay store during normal operating hours (8:30am–5:30pm, Tuesday to Friday). Our goal is to dispatch your order within 24 hours of placement, excluding weekends and public holidays.

Parts, Clothing and Accessories are shipped via Australia Post or other parcel courier. Bicycles, Frame-sets and indoor smart-bike trainers are shipped via specialist bike courier services to ensure they arrive in suitable condition.

2. Warehouse-Supplied Items

Some items on our website are supplied directly from brand warehouses interstate. Where this applies, the product page shows a note such as "Available to Order from [Brand] Warehouse — ships to Mackay Cycles, then ready for Click & Collect or local delivery in approx. 5–10 working days depending on brand."

These items route through our Mackay store before dispatch, so we can check, pack and freight them properly. Please allow the stated working days for the item to arrive with us before it's dispatched to you.

A small number of items ship direct from the supplier to your address — where that applies, the product page will say so.

3. East Coast Australia Bike Freight

Our Bicycle freight ($200 per bike), $150 Frame-set freight, and indoor smart-bike freight ($200 Zwift Ride / $400 Wahoo KICKR BIKE), are available to addresses in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and South Australia. Freight to Western Australia and the Northern Territory is quoted individually, because cost varies with size, weight and destination. Request a WA/NT freight quote and we'll come back to you with a firm delivery price, usually within one business day.

Moranbah & Clermont delivery: We deliver to Moranbah (postcode 4744) and Clermont (postcode 4721) for $80 per bike via courier — just select Moranbah 4744 & Clermont 4721 ONLY at checkout. Ordering more than one bike? Contact us and we'll sort the delivery.

Free in-store pickup is available from 7/8–14 Centurion Drive, Paget QLD 4740. Most online orders are ready within 4 business hours; we'll send a notification when your order is ready to collect. Items not on-floor (typically supplied from interstate warehouses) are not currently available for immediate Click & Collect — they'll be ready for collection once they arrive with us (see Section 2). Click & Collect is available as a separate option at checkout.

5. Freight Insurance

Freight insurance is recommended for shipments valued over $400 and is available on request. Without insurance, claims for damage in transit may not be covered. Contact us before placing your order if you would like insurance added.

Amazing service! I took my electric bike in for a tyre repair, and the staff were incredibly friendly, patient and helpful. They fixed my bike quickly and also gave me advice about the tyre. The price was very reasonable too!
