2021 Specialized Roubaix Sport Road Bike - Satin Flake Silver/Black

With six wins at Paris-Roubaix, the Roubaix has proven that Smoother is Faster but with some compromises, until now. The all-new Roubaix Expert now delivers compliance without compromise by introducing a radical new Future Shock 1.5 that gives you more control on rough roads, a new Pavé seatpost that creates the most balanced Roubaix, aerodynamics that equal the Tarmac, and a Rider-First Engineered™ frame that’s shed some serious weight. It's not a comfort bike because performance was behind every engineering decision. This is the new Roubaix.

The Roubaix Sport provides tremendous value but like the frame itself, this value doesn’t come with any compromises. It is spec’d with Shimano’s 105 11-speed groupset for its crisp shifts and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, as well as smooth and sturdy DT R470 Disc wheels, the all-new S-Works Pavé seatpost, 28mm Turbo Pro tyres, and the fan-favourite Power Sport saddle.

The new frame delivers compliance without compromise via the perfect balance of aerodynamics, light overall weight via a FACT 10r carbon construction, compliance, and Rider-First Engineering. With tube shapes that were born in Specialized's FreeFoil Shape Library and validated in the Win Tunnel, the new Roubaix is more aero than the Tarmac SL6. To ensure the weight and ride quality, a Rider-First Engineered™ design was implemented to deliver optimal stiffness and compliance across all sizes, from 44 to 61cm. 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.

A totally-new S-Works Pavé seatpost was also developed. It is the first compliant seatpost that’s aerodynamic without any additional weight or contraptions. Starting with the same d-shape design found in the Tarmac, its compliance was taken a step further, building additional flex into the upper and developing a new drop-clamp design in the frame. It provides plenty of compliance, while staying perfectly balanced with the front end, delivering a sublime, smooth ride no matter how rough the road.

With 20mm of rough-road-taming travel, the Future Shock 1.5 delivers a smoother, more comfortable ride whilst also reducing fatigue and increasing speed over harsh terrain. The new Smooth Boot enhances the aesthetics to bring a clean transition from the head tube to the stem.
