SPECIALIZED ROAD BICYCLE ROUBAIX SL8 COMP

SPECIALIZED ROAD BICYCLE ROUBAIX SL8 COMP

Two decades ago, we created the Road Endurance category, proving that ergonomics improves 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 can be hell under your tires, but in the saddle of the new Roubaix, it will feel like paradise.

SPECIALIZED ROAD BICYCLE ROUBAIX SL8 COMP KEY FEATURES:

VIBRATION ABSORPTION: The Future Shock 3.0 cartridge is the new star in the firmament, more adjustable and rugged. Regardless of seat position, every rider can take advantage of 20mm of travel, friction-free, between the handlebar stem and steerer tube. Hands on the handlebars stay steady, ensuring smoother handling with greater control to be faster, safer, and more confident.
The lowered clamp design exposes a larger portion of the seatpost to increase its flex. The Pavé seatpost 'controls' this movement for optimal vertical vibration absorption. Together these two features form the 'AfterShock' technology, and paired with the Roubaix's rigid rear triangle, they create a smooth ride without compromising efficiency.
Roubaix SL8 is the most comfortable road bike ever tested by our Ride Science Team — reducing handlebar impacts by 53% compared with other bikes in this category. With the Future Shock 3.0 cartridge the wheel clears the obstacle while the rider remains stable and maintains trajectory 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 feeling of riding 'inside' the bike, not 'on' the bike. Thus pressure on hands, shoulders, and arms decreases, 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 lightweight, efficient Specialized tires, this widened 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 mount for a bag on the top tube, and provision 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 with lowered seatstays. Leveraging 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 model. No other bike in this category is faster or lighter than the new Roubaix.
