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 S-Works 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 on rough roads 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 (under 900g - size 56cm - black). 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.
With the Sagan Collection, Specialized have reflected two different personalities of Peter's racing style in a collection of products, Overexposed and Underexposed. The Overexposed collection highlights the "star-of-the-show" side of Peter, with loud, yet elegant, silvers with touches of rainbows. Meanwhile, the Underexposed Collection represents the reserved, "below the radar" Peter with blacks, greys, and rainbows. Of course, each piece uses only the highest quality materials.
This frame also includes a revolutionary, all-new Pavé seatpost to ensure that your ride is perfectly balanced and comfortable.

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. The frame also stays below 900 grams (Size 56cm | Black). To prep you for your own Hell of the North, room has been made for 33mm tyres.

To go along with the new frame, a totally-new S-Works Pavé seatpost was developed. 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 Specialized pro riders’ demands 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.
