Specialized Roubaix SL8 Expert - Red

The Specialized Roubaix SL8 Pro 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 feels like you're in paradise. The Future Shock 3.0 cartridge is the new star in the firmament, more adjustable and durable. Regardless of the riding position, every cyclist can benefit from 20mm of frictionless travel between the handlebar stem and the head tube. Your hands on the handlebars remain steady, ensuring a smoother ride with greater control to be faster, safer, and more confident. The low-profile clamp design 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 elements together form the 'AfterShock' technology, and combined 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, the wheel glides over obstacles while the cyclist remains stable and maintains trajectory on rough terrain. Normally, the fork bends backward on impact, causing a loss of speed. It's scientific: more comfort means more speed. The Roubaix has been a pioneer of endurance geometry, giving you the feeling of riding 'in' the bike, not 'on' the bike. This way, pressure on the hands, shoulders, and arms decreases, giving you capability and confidence on any road. With tire clearance for a section 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 section 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 mounts for bottle cages, a mount for a bag on the top tube, and provisions for fenders. All that's left is to hit the road! The new Roubaix SL8 is the most aerodynamic in its category, with new tube profiles generated by the Free Foil library and lowered seat stays.
