Description
VIBRATION ABSORPTION: The Future Shock 3.0 cartridge is the new star of the show — more adjustable and more durable. No matter your position in the saddle, every rider can take advantage of 20mm of travel, friction-free, between the stem and the head tube. Your hands stay planted on the handlebar, delivering a smoother ride with greater control so you can go faster, safer and more confident. The low-clamp design exposes more of the seatpost to increase its flex. The Pavé seatpost 'controls' this movement for optimal vibration absorption in the vertical plane. These two things together form the 'AfterShock' technology, and combined with the Roubaix's stiff rear triangle, they create a smooth ride without compromising efficiency. The Roubaix SL8 is the most comfortable road bike ever tested by our Ride Science Team — it reduces handlebar impacts by 53% compared to other bikes in this category. With the Future Shock 3.0 cartridge, the wheel rolls over obstacles while the rider stays stable and holds their line on rough terrain. Normally, the fork deflects rearward on impact, causing a loss of speed. It's science: more comfortable means faster. CAPABILITY: The Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, giving you the feeling of pedalling 'inside' the bike, not 'on top of' it. That means less pressure on your hands, shoulders and arms, giving you confidence and capacity on any road. With tyre clearance up to 38c/40mm, this endurance road bike delivers exceptional traction on rough roads or gravel. Thanks to Specialized's lightweight and efficient tyres, that extra width comes with no drawbacks. The Roubaix makes you want to spend long days in the saddle, so we've kitted it out with everything you might need for your rides — three bottle cage mounts, a top tube bag mount and mudguard compatibility. All you have to do is ride! PERFORMANCE: The new Roubaix SL8 is the most aerodynamic bike in its category, with new tube profiles generated from our Free Foil library and dropped seatstays. Drawing on the Aethos project — the lightest production road bike ever made — we've built a new frame weighing just 825 grams in FACT 12r carbon, 50 grams lighter than its predecessor. No other bike in this category is faster or lighter than the new Roubaix.
