SPECIALIZED ROUBAIX SL8 COMP BIKE

SPECIALIZED ROUBAIX SL8 COMP BIKE

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

SPECIALIZED ROUBAIX SL8 COMP BIKE MAIN FEATURES:

VIBRATION DAMPING: The Future Shock 3.0 cartridge is the new star in the firmament, more adjustable and durable. Regardless of the riding position, every rider can take advantage of 20mm of travel, without friction, between the stem and the head tube. Your hands on the handlebar stay steady, ensuring a smoother ride with more control so you can be faster, safer and more confident.
The dropped clamp design exposes a larger portion of the seatpost to increase its flex. The Pavé seatpost “controls” this movement for optimal vibration damping in the vertical plane. These two elements together form the “AfterShock” technology, and combined with the stiff rear triangle of the Roubaix, 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 impacts at the handlebar by 53% compared to other bikes in this category. With the Future Shock 3.0 cartridge the wheel flies over obstacles while the rider remains stable and maintains the line on rough surfaces. Normally, the fork flexes backward on impact, causing a loss of speed. It’s scientific: more comfort means more speed.

CAPACITY: The Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, giving you the feeling of riding “in” the bike, not “on” the bike. This reduces pressure on hands, shoulders and arms, giving you capacity and confidence on any road.
With clearance for tires up to 38c/40mm this endurance road bike provides exceptional traction on rough roads or gravel. Thanks to the light and efficient Specialized tires, this larger section comes with no drawbacks.
The Roubaix makes you want to spend long days in the saddle, so we decided to equip it with everything you might need for bike adventures – three bottle cage mounts, a top tube bag mount and provisions for possible fenders. All that’s left is to set off!

PERFORMANCE: The new Roubaix SL8 is the most aerodynamic in its class, with new tube profiles generated by our Free Foil library and dropped seatstays. Drawing on the Aethos project – the lightest mass-produced road bike – we created the new frame that weighs only 825 grams, in FACT 12r carbon and 50 grams lighter than the previous one. No other bike in this category is faster or lighter than the new Roubaix.
