As this is not a brand new frame, it may not feature the full original technical specification and is subject to change.
If you thought that a bike had to be jarring and unforgiving in order to be fast, think again. The more comfortable you are, in fact, the faster you'll go. If you need proof of this, look no further than the Ruby Expert. Its revolutionary design erases any shadow of a doubt that smoother is indeed faster.
The frame is among the lightest that Specialized have ever made and it's been constructed from their superlative FACT 10r carbon fibre. Its stiffness levels are also off the charts and compared to the SL4 iteration of yesteryear you'll experience a whole new faster and more efficient geometry. The same fit, feel and position that we've all come to love from the SL4's Women's Endurance Geometry has been maintained.
The Future Shock suspension is essentially a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. Specialized developed this technology in partnership with McLaren Applied Technologies and the result of this are a host of drastic performance improvements, namely in the vertical compliance department. Focusing on vertical compliance instead of fork splay meant that Specialized could improve smoothness, speed and comfort in one fell swoop. Of all the bikes Specialized have tested with their Rolling Efficiency Model, the new Ruby outperforms anything on the market.
It features a Rider-First Engineered design that ensures every frame size has the same legendary responsiveness and smooth ride quality that you'd expect from a Ruby. The FACT 10r frameset is exceptional in every way, offering the ideal blend of light overall weight and targeted stiffness. Meanwhile, the all-new Future Shock "suspension" system at the cockpit delivers a revolutionary degree of comfort and control.
- The Ruby Disc fork is built from an extraordinary FACT carbon fibre for the lightest possible weight, supreme stiffness, strength, and reactivity, while a thru-axle design only stands to bolster all of the above.
