The Specialized Roubaix SL8 Comp with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster, and more comfortable than any other road bike. The road can be hellish beneath your tires, but on the new Roubaix, it's like being in paradise. The Future Shock 3.0 cartridge is the new star in the firmament, more adjustable and durable. Regardless of your riding position, every cyclist can take advantage of 20mm of travel, friction-free, between the handlebar stem and the head tube. Your hands on the handlebars stay steady, ensuring a smoother ride with greater control to be faster, safer, and more confident. The design with a lowered clamp exposes a larger portion of the seat post to increase its flex. The Pavé seat post 'controls' this movement for optimal vertical vibration absorption. These two things together form the 'AfterShock' technology, and in combination with the Roubaix's stiff rear end, 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 glides over obstacles while the cyclist remains stable and maintains trajectory on rough terrain. Normally, the fork flexes backward on impact, causing a loss of speed. It's scientific; more comfort means more speed. The Roubaix has pioneered endurance geometry, giving you the sensation of pedaling 'in' the bike, not 'on' the bike. Thus, pressure on the hands, shoulders, and arms is reduced, giving you capability and confidence on any road. With tire clearance of up to 38c/40mm, this endurance road bike provides exceptional traction on rough roads or gravel. Thanks to the lightweight and efficient Specialized tires, this increased width has no downsides. The Roubaix makes you want to spend long days in the saddle, so it has been equipped with everything you might need for bike adventures - three bottle cage mounts, a bag mount on the top tube, and provisions for fenders. All you have to do is go! The new Roubaix SL8 is the most aerodynamic in its category, with new tube profiles generated by the Free Foil library and with lowered rear stays.
