2021 Specialized Roubaix Pro Road Bike - Abalone Spectraflair Flake

With six wins at Paris-Roubaix, our Roubaix has proven that Smoother is Faster but with some compromises. Not anymore. The all-new Roubaix Pro now delivers compliance without compromise by introducing a radical new Future Shock 2.0 that gives you 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. It's not a comfort bike, because performance was behind every engineering decision. This is the new Roubaix.

The Roubaix Pro goes as all out with a focus on getting every ounce of performance for your money. It features the superlative SRAM Force eTAP AXS 12-speed build kit, lightweight Roval Alpinist CL carbon wheels, an all-new S-Works Pavé seatpost, S-Works carbon Hover bars, and the fan-favourite Power Pro 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 64cm. 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 also aerodynamic without any additional weight or finicky contraptions. Starting with the same D-shape design found on the Tarmac, its 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 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.
