S-Works Tarmac SL8 "Demi Vollering": a bike for dreamers, a work of art on wheels

The design of this Tarmac SL8 is directly inspired by the childhood of Demi Vollering, who grew up working in her family's greenhouses, surrounded by hydrangeas and dreams of glory on two wheels. The frame is decorated with intense colors—purples, greens, blues, reds—and delicate floral motifs that refer to her origins. Her personal mantra, "Everything starts with a dream," is engraved alongside encouraging messages like "Breathe," which accompany her in the toughest moments of the race.

Demi Vollering's career is the very definition of perseverance and talent. Since she fully focused on cycling in 2018, her victories have made history:

• 2× Liège–Bastogne–Liège (2021, 2023)
• 2× Strade Bianche (2023, 2025)
• Ardennes Triple (2023)
• Tour de France Femmes (2023)
• La Vuelta Femenina (2024, 2025)
• 3 stages of the Tour, including Tourmalet and Alpe d'Huez
• 2nd place in the 2024 Tour by only 4 seconds, the narrowest margin in history

Currently in the ranks of FDJ-SUEZ, Vollering has embarked on a new stage with Specialized not only as a champion but also as one of the most committed voices in the peloton for the visibility and future of women's cycling.

Exclusive edition: only 400 units

The 400 frames of this S-Works Tarmac SL8 inspired by Vollering will be available exclusively through Specialized's Click and Collect system, starting on Wednesday, July 24 at 6:00 p.m., at specialized.com.

Each one will be a unique piece, both for its number and for what it represents: the living story of a champion and an invitation to keep dreaming big.
