Making skin-tight lycra look cool is no easy feat, but Vienna’s BBUC is doing an admirable job. With its off-beat branding, bold colours and striking visuals, the cult cycling brand is shaking up the on-bike apparel game by taking a completely fresh approach. Need an example? How about BBUC’s collaborative project with Specialized and fellow Austrians F.A.T International, the cult motorsport brand? Meet the BBUC SL8.
You might have spotted images floating around social media of a stunning Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 atop the roof of a F.A.T-sponsored Porsche 911. If you haven’t, here they are. And if any of this gets you hankering after a new bike then good news, because the brand has just announced that this special-edition BBUC SL8 will be available in very limited numbers to buy.



The multi Grand Tour stage-winning Tarmac SL8 is renowned for its advanced engineering and performance capabilities. This collaboration infuses the bike with unique design elements, reflecting the distinctive aesthetics of both F.A.T and BBUC. While specific design details have yet to be disclosed, the partnership promises a blend of innovation and style.



The limited edition BBUC SL8 will be showcased at the F.A.T Ice Race in Austria this February, providing enthusiasts a first look at this unique collaboration and the opportunity to place a pre-order. Further details regarding availability and pricing are anticipated to be released in conjunction with the event, but keep checking the BBUC site for the latest information.
