2018 Specialized Roubaix Pro Mens Road Bike - Gloss Blue

So long Zertz. It's been fun, but we found someone better for us. The super-light frame has been constructed from 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 have been maintained, and it has been kept consistent throughout the size-range due to a Rider-First Engineered™ construction.

The Future Shock suspension is a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. This technology has been developed 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 the smoothness, speed, and comfort could be improved in one fell swoop. And of all the bikes tested with the Rolling Efficiency Model, the new Roubaix outperforms anything on the market.

Lastly, it has been spec'd with top of the line equipment, like Dura-Ace 9100 mechanical shifting, 9120 hydraulic disc brakes, and the lightweight and durable Roval CL 32 carbon wheels.

• Featuring 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 Roubaix. The FACT 10r frameset is among the highest quality carbon offerings, with the ideal blend of light overall weight and targeted stiffness, while the all-new Future Shock "suspension" system at the cockpit delivers a revolutionary degree of comfort and control.
• An S-Works FACT Disc fork is built from FACT carbon fibre for supreme stiffness, strength, and reactivity, while a thru-axle design only stands to bolster all of the above.
• The Roval CL 32 wheelset is light, strong, and well-balanced. You'll find the same rims found on its CLX cousin, with the main differences coming at the bearings and hubs - hardly discernible to mere mortal riders.
