BICYCLE SPECIALIZED ROUBAIX SL8 EXPERT

BICYCLE SPECIALIZED ROUBAIX SL8 EXPERT

Two decades ago, we created the Road Endurance category, proving that ergonomics improves performance. Today, the Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 cartridge is lighter, faster, and more comfortable than any other race bike. The road can be hellish under your tires, but in the saddle of the new Roubaix, it will feel like heaven.

KEY FEATURES OF BICYCLE SPECIALIZED ROUBAIX SL8 EXPERT:

• VIBRATION DAMPING: The Future Shock 3.0 cartridge is the new star in the firmament, more adjustable and durable. Regardless of riding position, every rider can utilize 20mm of travel, friction-free, between the handlebar stem and the head tube. Hands on the bars stay steady, ensuring smoother handling with greater control to be faster, safer, and more confident.
• The low-clamp design exposes more of the seatpost to increase its deflection. The Pavé seatpost 'controls' this movement for optimal vertical-plane vibration damping. Together with the Roubaix’s rigid rear triangle, this creates a smooth ride without compromising efficiency.
• The Roubaix SL8 is the most comfortable road bike ever tested by our Ride Science Team - reduces handlebar impacts by 53% vs. other bikes in this category. With the Future Shock 3.0 cartridge, the wheel overcomes the obstacle while the rider remains steady and maintains the line on rough terrain. Normally, the fork flexes backward on impact, causing a loss of speed. It’s scientific: more comfortable means faster.
• CAPACITY: Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, giving you the sensation of riding 'inside' the bike, not 'on' the bike. This reduces pressure on hands, shoulders, and arms, giving you capability and confidence on any road.
• With tire clearance up to 38c/40mm, this endurance road bike provides exceptional traction on rough roads or gravel. Thanks to light and efficient Specialized tires, this wider section presents no drawbacks.
• Roubaix makes you want to spend long days in the saddle, so we equipped it with everything you might need for bike adventures—three bottle cage mounts, a frame bag mount on the top tube, and compatibility for fenders. All that’s left is to hit the road!
• PERFORMANCE: The new Roubaix SL8 is the most aerodynamic in its category, with new tube profiles generated from our Free Foil library and lowered seat stays. Leveraging the Aethos project—the lightest production road bike—our new frame weighs only 825 grams, FACT 12r carbon and 50 grams lighter than before. No other bike in this category is faster or lighter than the new Roubaix.
