Specialized Roubaix Expert Description:
The Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster, and smoother than any road bike ever made, unleashing unmatched confidence through ergonomics, cutting edge construction, and smooth compliance that will steady the rigors of any road no matter the length of the journey. At its center lies a FACT 10r carbon fiber frame, an aero beast crafted with inspiration from free-foil shapes and dropped seat stays that impart the best of ergonomics and compliance with the performance of race-winning aerodynamics. Future Shock 3.0 smooths the harshness of every journey by lessening the impact felt at the bars and saddle through 20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube, keeping hands and bars steady for a smoother ride with more control to stay fast, safe, and confident. Tire clearance up to 40mm unlocks a world of ultra-wide tire widths for better traction in more conditions and the compliance and confidence to take on even light gravel. Stay on the bike longer, way longer with the ability to mount fenders, Roubaix will keep you on the road after others have canceled for rain.
