2020 Specialized Roubaix Expert Road Bike - Crimson/Cast Berry

With six wins at the Paris-Roubaix, the Specialized Roubaix Road Bike has proven that Smoother is Faster but in the past this has always come with some compromises. With the all-new Roubaix, this has all changed. The ever-popular road bike now delivers compliance without compromise. This is achieved by a radical new Future Shock 2.0 that offers more control and damping options, a new Pavé seatpost that creates the most balanced Roubaix to date, aerodynamics that equal the Tarmac, and a Rider-First Engineered™ frame that’s shed some serious weight. The best part is that the Roubaix is still comfortable with performance as the key element behind every decision Specialized engineers made. This is the new Roubaix.

• The new frame delivers compliance without compromise via the perfect balance of aerodynamics, light overall weight, compliance, and Rider-First Engineering™. With tube shapes that were born in the FreeFoil Shape Library and validated in the Win Tunnel, the new Roubaix’s as aero as the Tarmac SL6.
• To ensure the weight and ride quality, Specialized turned to a Rider-First Engineered™ design to deliver optimal stiffness and compliance across all sizes, from 44 to 64cm. Of course, the frame has shed some serious weight in the process. To prep you for your own Hell of the North, room has been made for 33mm tyres.
• To go along with the new frame, Specialized have also developed a totally-new S-Works Pavé seatpost. Not only is it the first compliant seatpost that’s ALSO aerodynamic, it does so without any additional weight or finicky contraptions. Starting with the same D-shape design found on the Tarmac, compliance was taken a step further by building additional flex into the upper and developing a new drop-clamp design in the frame. This provides plenty of compliance, while staying perfectly balanced with the front-end, so you get a smooth, balanced ride no matter how rough the road.
• The Future Shock 2.0 is the result of the demands of Specialized pro riders for the cobbles of Roubaix. It’s smoother, faster, and gives you more control via a knob atop the stem. This knob adjusts compression from fully-open to stiff, while hydraulically-damped internals control rebound. Add it up, and this latest version will reduce fatigue and increase your speed, no matter the terrain. The new Smooth Boot, top cap, and Future Stem also enhance the aesthetic, so you get a clean transition from head tube to stem.

Get ready for a more performance-driven and comfortable ride whether you are commuting to work or hitting the cobbles of the Roubaix.
