2017 S-Works Roubaix Mens Road Frame - Carbon Black/White

Smoother is faster but with the S-Works Roubaix Frameset, this philosophy is taken to new, remarkable heights. The frame is the lightest Specialized have ever made, and it's been constructed from their top-end FACT 11r carbon fiber. 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. Future Shock suspension is essentially a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. This technology was 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 improved smoothness, speed, and comfort in one fell swoop. Of all the bikes that Specialized have tested with their Rolling Efficiency Model, the Roubaix outperforms anything on the market.

• 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 S-Works FACT 11r frameset is their highest quality carbon frame, offering the ideal blend of light overall weight and targeted stiffness, while the Future Shock "suspension" system at the cockpit delivers a revolutionary degree of comfort and control.
• An S-Works Roubaix Disc fork is built from their 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.
• FACT carbon CG-R seatpost has integrated elastomer inserts that help dissipate road chatter and vibration, without sacrificing responsiveness or power transfer.
