Specialized revolutionised the endurance road category two decades ago, pioneering the notion that superior ergonomics equate to superior performance. Today, the new Specialized Roubaix SL8 Road Bike with Future Shock 3.0 sets a new standard. It's lighter, faster, and smoother than any road bike ever crafted, instilling unparalleled confidence. While the road below may feel like hell, atop the Roubaix, it's a heavenly ride.
Now, the world's smoothest road bike meets the SRAM RED AXS groupset with a power meter, the lightest electronic groupset ever, and pairs it with a Roval Terra CLX II tubeless-ready wheelset for the ultimate in smoothness and speed.
Compliance: Future Shock 3.0 takes centre stage, now more tunable, adjustable, and durable than ever before. Offering 20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube, it ensures a steady hand and bar position for a smoother, more controlled ride, keeping you fast, safe, and confident.
Capability: With its pioneering endurance geometry, the Roubaix lets you ride in the bike, not on it, relieving pressure on your hands, arms, and shoulders for unparalleled capability and confidence on any road. Plus, with tyre clearance up to 38c/40mm, it delivers better traction than ever on rough roads and light gravel, ready to tackle any terrain with ease.
Performance: The new Roubaix SL8 is Specialized's most aerodynamic yet, boasting new aero shapes from their Free Foil library and dropped seat stays. At just 828g, the frame is 50g lighter, drawing inspiration from the Aethos, the world’s lightest production frame, and Specialized's premium Fact 12r carbon blend. Nothing in its class can match the speed or lightness of the Roubaix.
