2017 Specialized Roubaix Elite Mens Road Bike - Nordic Red/Black

This is how road bikes were always meant to be. The frame is the lightest Specialized have ever made and it 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. Specialized have managed to keep the same fit, feel and position we've all come to love from the SL4. 'Future Shock' suspension is essentially a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. Technology has been developed in partnership with McLaren Applied Technologies, resulting in drastic performance improvements, namely in the vertical compliance department. Focusing on vertical compliance, instead of fork splay meant improved smoothness, speed and comfort in one. Of all the bikes tested with their Rolling Efficiency Model, the new Roubaix outperforms anything on the market. It has been spec'd with awesome components, like Shimano 105 11-speed shifting and ultra-tough Axis Elite Disc 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 exceptional in every way, offering the ideal blend of light overall weight and targeted stiffness.
• Meanwhile, the Future Shock "suspension" system at the cockpit delivers a revolutionary degree of comfort and control.
• A Roubaix Disc fork is built from our top-end FACT 11r carbon fibre for supreme stiffness, strength, and reactivity, while a thru-axle design only stands to bolster all of the above.
• This Praxis Alba 2D crankset is perfect for tackling steep grades and rough roads, and it also features supreme ramping for precise shifts between rings.
• Comes equipped with a 40lbs spring (color: yellow, weight: firm) installed, and also includes both 13lbs (color: blue, weight: soft) and 25lbs (color: black, weight: medium) springs that can be installed to match the terrain you're riding.
