Product description

Today, after creating the endurance road category two decades ago, the new Specialized Roubaix SL8 Comp with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster, and smoother than any road bike ever made, unleashing unmatched confidence. The road may be hell below, but on Roubaix, it’s always heaven above.

The new Roubaix SL8 is Spec's most aero yet, with new aero shapes from the Free Foil library and dropped seat stays. At just 950 grams, the frame is lighter, and Fact 10r carbon blend. Nothing in its class is faster or lighter than the Roubaix.

The Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, so you ride “IN” the bike, not “ON” the bike to relieve pressure on your hands, arms, and shoulders for capability and confidence on any road, yet it’s ready to dissect a mountain decent at full gas. Snuggle up. With tire clearance up to 38c/40mm, this endurance road machine delivers better traction than ever on rough roads and even light gravel. Thanks to lightweight, super-efficient Specialized tires, that extra tire volume and traction comes with no downsides.

The  Future Shock 3.0 is the star of the show, more tunable, adjustable, and durable than ever. Now, regardless of position on the bike, every rider experiences 20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube. Future Shock helps keep your hands and bars steady for a smoother ride with more control to stay fast, safe, and confident. The dropped clamp design exposes more seatpost to increase deflection, but “more” isn’t simply better. The Pavé seatpost controls that deflection for the optimal vertical compliance. Together they create AfterShock technology, and when paired with the Roubaix’s rigid rear triangle, deliver a smooth ride with no loss in efficiency.

The Roubaix SL8 is one of the smoothest road bike reducing impacts at the bars and saddle by 53% vs. the nearest competition. With Roubaix’s Future Shock 3.0 the wheel quickly moves over the bump, while rider mass remains stable, maintaining momentum in rough terrain. Typical forks deflect backward on impact, causing a measurable loss in speed. It’s a scientific fact, smoother is indeed faster.

Roubaix SL8 Comp is equipped with Shimano's 105 12-speed groupset for the smooth shifting and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, as well as smooth and sturdy DT Swiss G540 disc wheels, the  S-Works Pavé seatpost, 32mm S-Works Mondo tires, and a super comfy Body Geometry Power Sport saddle.

Roubaix inspires really BIG days on the bike, so it's been given every mount your adventures could need - three bottle mounts, top-tube mounts, and it’s even fender-ready. So, go ahead and bring it all along for the ride.

With all improvements and innovations combined, you get an extremely efficient, fast and comfortable bike!
