IN STORE PICK-UP ONLY

Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8 thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, and ride quality previously thought impossible. After eight generations and over two decades of development, it’s more than the fastest Tarmac ever - it’s the world’s fastest race bike. Your legs up for it?

Aerodynamics or lightweight alone don’t win races - speed is what matters. Delivering that speed requires creating an uncompromising combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, stiffness, and compliance. Through race simulations using real world data our Ride Science team knows the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest race bike ever made on the routes that matter - 16.6 seconds faster over 40km, 128 seconds faster over Milan San Remo, 20 seconds faster over the legendary Tourmalet climb.

Now, the Tarmac SL8 Pro comes with SRAM’s new power meter equipped Force AXS group for lighter weight, effortless braking, and faster, more precise shifting.

  • AERO IN EVERYTHING: We’re putting aero where it matters - the leading edge - not just where it looks good. In the process we’ve created our most aerodynamic road bike ever. Yes, it’s more aero than the Venge. Clean air is optimized for maximum advantage with the Tarmac’s new nose cone - the Speed Sniffer. By moving the steer tube back - the tube that determines head tube width - the leading edge of the head tube can be much sharper, delivering a much lower drag shape. Utilizing new UCI rules, the Tarmac SL8 has the narrowest, most aero seat post we’ve ever made ensuring fast moving, dirty air around the legs can flow back more cleanly. Doesn’t victory smell sweet?
  • MINIMUM WEIGHT, MAXIMUM AERO: Tarmac SL8 took learnings from Aethos to be easily built at the UCI minimum with a full aero set up. The team delivered a mind bending, scale tickling 685 gram frame (S-Works) - 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than anything on else on the World Tour*.  With the ability to make lightweight a top priority in the down tube, seat tube, and rear of the bike lessons from Aethos were applied. The frame’s shape carries load so efficiently that extra carbon stiffness layers become redundant. *Unless of course you count the time Kasper Asgreen raced our 585 gram Aethos frame during a Tour stage.
  • GOES LIKE HELL, RIDES LIKE HEAVEN: With massive gains in stiffness-to-weight - an improvement of 33% over the SL7 - the Tarmac SL8 takes legendary handling, aggressive responsiveness and World Championship proven geometry to the next level. The bike is stiffer at the pedals, more precise at the bars, and combines it with a compliant ride in the saddle that sets a new benchmark for race bike comfort. Thanks to our Rider-First Engineering, every rider, regardless of size, gets the same unprecedented ride quality and handling. In the saddle the Tarmac SL8 delivers 6% more compliance, floating over rough road with a supple feel unique in the high strung world of race bikes. Tarmac’s proven geometry and 32mm tire clearance are identical to the SL7, ensuring easy adaptation and the versatility to run higher volume tires when needed.
  • BEYOND GENDER: There can be more difference between two male cyclists than between a male and female. Gender alone doesn’t provide nearly enough data to specialize and that means creating male or female bikes is arbitrary and outdated. Every rider can get the next level advantage of Tarmac SL8. It’s time to go Beyond Gender.
  • The Tarmac SL8 Pro delivers exceptional performance with a full SRAM Force AXS groupset with power meter, Roval Rapide CL III tubeless-ready wheelset, and a Roval Rapide Cockpit. You’re ready to race out of the box.

A wonderful book for all Christians who wish to defend the credibility of our bible
Format: Paperback
Brant Petrie is a wonderful Catholic Bible Scholar, having both a deep love and understcanding of his own faith and the faith of Jesus of Nazareth, Judaism. Everyone of his books and videos provide deeper insight who is Jesus, the ancient faith He handed on and even why it grew as swiftly as it did...always using the Old Testament to enlighten our understanding of the New. He couldn't do this if he wasn't completely convinced himself of Who Jesus is and the credibility of the Scriptures that reveal Him to us. That is what this book is about. Petrie takes you point by point through the arguments that modern scripture scholars and atheists put forth about the New Testament, that we have no idea who wrote the Gospels, they were written anonymously, they are myth or folktale etc. The most stunning reality is that these people literally ignore the facts; they ignore common sense The second topic he tackles is the assertion that Jesus wasn't divine because He never claimed to be God. They dismiss John's gospel, saying the idea that Jesus was God, was a later development and clearly not believed from the beginning as witness by the fact that no where in the Synoptic Gospels does Jesus claim divinity. Petrie, again using his understanding of Judaism and how ideas are expressed in the culture, clearly demonstrates that while, Jesus never stands up pounding his chest saying, "I am God", He very distinctly, even explicitly makes His divinity known. If He hadn't, the high priest would not have rend his garments and there would never have been a crucifixion. The case is made simply and in a straight forward manner. Arguments that all of us can use, with love, when the credibility of scripture is questioned. He also has a pleasant writing style. He has a wonderful sense of humor in his videos and while it is less obvious in the book, his gentle strength is quite evident. If you love scripture and the Christian faith, this is a book you will want to read.

The best "Jesus book" outside the Bible
Format: Kindle
If you are looking for a dry academic tome that spends page after page delving into the minutiae of little known biblical passages, you need to look someplace else. If, however you are looking for a fresh, dynamic and eye opening book tackling the big questions about who Jesus claimed to be, the reliability and authorship of the Gospels, and other questions surrounding the life and ministry of Jesus, then this is the book for you. Written by a well respected academic but for a non-specialist readership, Dr. Pitre's writing is engaging while not being breezy. He uses footnotes to back up his assertions but not so many as to overwhelm the reader. Don't get me wrong, I like a weighty academic tome as well as the next nerd. I would strongly recommend one of Dr. Joshua R. Brotherton's books. But nerds aren't Dr. Pitre's only intended audience. It's all of us who have been bombarded with claims that the gospels are unreliable and anonymous, written well after the lifetime of the Apostles. That Jesus never claimed to be divine or that the resurrection is nothing more than myth. It addresses these and other issues in a way that makes you resolve to buy copies of his book for family and friends even before you're halfway through the book. I know I did and I bet you will to.

An Excellent Summary Defending The Synoptic Gospels and Jesus Christ's Claims of Divinity
Format: Hardcover
This book is an excellent summary that refutes the arguments made by modern theologians and scholars of the Bible that claim that the Gospels were of anonymous authorship, written late in the 1st Century AD, and Jesus of Nazareth never claimed to be divine. Bart Ehrman's (an avowed atheist that seems motivated to denigrate Christianity) shoddy scholarship is frequently given as an example to be refuted. The author cites the Apostolic Fathers and more recent scholars to show that the claims made by the revisionists are incorrect. There are several detailed 5 Star reviews, so I won't duplicate their praises for Dr. Pitre's book. The book is a quick read and there are numerous end notes. A minor criticism is that the book lacks a bibliography, but the sources are fully identified within the end notes. The author makes a couple of very interesting observations concerning the Transfiguration of Jesus and how Jesus fulfilled Scripture (namely, the Book of Jonah) that I had not considered before. One of the negative reviews cites the notes in the New American Bible as evidence that Dr. Pitre's book is incorrect. While it is true that the Catholic Church in the U.S. uses the NAB translation in its liturgy, other Biblical scholars dispute the notes included in that edition of the Bible. A similar problem exists with the notes included with Oxford's Catholic Study Bible. The notes were written by modern revisionists. I suppose you have to decide whether to accept the words of the Apostolic Fathers (i.e., men that either were or knew the Apostles) and Jesus Christ, or if -- 2000 years later -- you're too sophisticated to accept the word of some ancient guys. The author is Catholic, and the book has been granted an Imprimatur. However, since this book does not get into the weeds concerning doctrinal differences, it should be of value to any Christian.

Good but more academic
Format: Hardcover
I love Brant Pitre, especially his books Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist and Jesus the Bridegroom. I would say those books should be required reading for anyone who is catechist or is involved in RCIA as Catholics. This book is good, however it is primarily an academic work where Dr. Pitre takes on the Historical Jesus movement and Dr. Bart Ehrman in particular. In this book he goes on to show that the gospels were written within a few decades of Jesus death by the disciples that have given their names to the gospels. He uses his knowledge of Jewish faith and culture to show that Jesus really does claim to be God in all the gospels, not just the Gospel of John. It is a good book but not one that I would find useful on a regular basis.

BEST BOOK IN 20 YEARS
Format: Hardcover
BEST BOOK that I have read in 20 years. This should be required reading in Christian schools. Every Christian who has graduated from high school should read this book. As one who has studied Church History, Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek myself, I had become very disappointed in what passes as scholarship, even among Ivy Leage graduates, in the 21st century. HOWEVER, Dr. Pitre's book is a great encouragement that there really are people "out-there" that display genuine scholarship. With Appreciation, Russ Hills, Ph.D.
