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 down bad MMC that doesn't give up. LOVED IT!
Format: Kindle
I love a down bad MMC and Lucky Beneventi was it and more!!!! I loved the love he had for Lexi and how willing he was to fight for them and give their relationship a try. But I could also understand why Lexi didn’t want to risk it. She knew that her cystic fibrosis diagnosis gave her no guarantee of how many years she'd live and she didn’t want to hurt Lucky. But seeing Lucky not giving up and showing her how important and worthy their love was, no matter the time left? It was beautiful!!!!! And that ending and bonus epilogue? My heart!!!!!! I loved it so much!! I do wish we could’ve had more time with them dating and being happy because I did feel we spent more time with them fighting their attraction and then Lexi fighting what they felt for each other. Also, there were A LOT of characters so it got a bit confusing trying to understand who was related to whom (so I guess at some point I will eventually go back and read the other series). However, keeping my focus on Lucky and Lexi helped me enjoy the story more. Sweet Temptation is a fantastic beginning to the Love and Legacy series. It was definitely more heart wrenching than I was expecting but I adored the love story, the main characters' connection and how they got their HEA. Tropes: -Good girl x bad boy vibes -Football player -Baker -Childhood friends to frenemies to lovers -FMC has a chronic illness -It’s always been you -Down bad MMC -No third act break up -Brother’s best friend

This book was great!
Format: Kindle
This book was absolutely amazing! I loved the relationship between Lexie and Lucky. I loved how Lucky was soo sweet with Lexie and how he knew he loved her from when they were kids. I felt horrible Lucky thought he caused her to be sick when they were kids and he lived with that guilt his whole life. The writing in this book like all of her books was great. Im addicted to this world and this crazy large family. I cant wait to read the next book in this series! The duet audiobook narration was fantastic! The narrators did a wonderful job bringing this book and their characters to life! Tor Thom and Andi Arndt were incredible! I would highly recommend this book and audiobook.

Chronic illness rep
Format: Kindle
One of the things I love about Bella Matthews is that they are short and spicy, but long enough to develop the characters and have a overall plot with some subplots...that are little breadcrumbs for future books. However, this book didnt seem long enough to convey the enormity of cystic fibrosis. The pacing bounced around and I just didnt have the opportunity to really connect with the characters. I have read EVERY book by this author and LOVE how all of her books are interconnected. The family tree at the beginning is helpful to keep track of who is related to who.

Lucky and Lexie Will Break and Heal Your Heart
Format: Kindle
Oh my heart… Lucky and Lexie’s story was everything I hoped for and more. Sweet Temptation, the first book in Bella Matthews’ new Love & Legacy series, is a heartfelt and emotional return to Kroydon Hills. From the very first chapter, I was pulled back into a world filled with witty banter, swoony moments, and characters that feel real and memorable. Lexie Sinclair has spent the last year in Paris pursuing her culinary dreams. Living with Cystic Fibrosis, she has accepted that love isn’t something she can allow herself. She doesn’t want anyone to experience the pain of losing her, so she keeps her heart guarded. Her determination to protect herself and others broke my heart more than once. Lucky Beneventi is the star quarterback, a known flirt, and her brother’s best friend. Lexie has always been his sweetest temptation, and now that they’re adults and living under the same roof, their connection is impossible to ignore. Their chemistry has been building since childhood, and when they finally give in, it’s intense and emotional. Bella Matthews blends humor, tenderness, and heat beautifully, making every moment between them feel earned. Lucky’s quiet protectiveness and devotion made me fall in love with his character. He stands by Lexie even when she tries to push him away. Lexie’s journey is raw, honest, and deeply emotional. Her strength and vulnerability are written with care, and there were several moments that genuinely moved me. Bella Matthews also delivers wonderful family dynamics. Seeing familiar Kroydon Hills characters as parents added a layer of nostalgia that fans will love. Sweet Temptation is the perfect mix of heart, humor, and heat. It’s emotional, romantic, and hard to put down. This story made me laugh, swoon, and tear up more than once. Bella Matthews has delivered a beautiful romance that lingers long after the final page.

"It's a promise wrapped in a threat, and she doesn’t know it" ARC
Format: Kindle
I can always count on Bella Matthew’s books to have found family, a strong FMC, delicious spice and to make me laugh & cry in the same chapter. Sweet Temptation is no exception! Lexie & Lucky have grown up together. Lucky plays pro-football & lives with Lexie’s brother Lincoln. Lexie is back in town, needs a place to stay, insert our favorite forced proximity trope! Lexie doesn't want a relationship, she firmly believes that's selfish because she has cystic fibrosis and doesn’t want to cause her loved ones pain someday. She’s also the first and only girl Lucky hasn’t tried to chase… There’s wonderful banter & tension and then finally we get “one night lucky.. It's a promise wrapped in a threat, and she doesn’t know it” I loved Lexie’s mom & Lucky’s sister for standing up for their relationship & dropping the truth bombs those around them needed to hear. Lucky’s mom for telling him, grand gestures don’t mean sh*t, when you take away her right to choose what she wants. If you love banter, group texts, spice, football romance, forced proximity -- definitely recommend this book! Can't wait to read more of this second gen.
