With the Ruby Comp you get next-level comfort from a design that's nothing short of revolutionary. The frame is among the lightest that Specialized have ever made and it's been constructed from their superlative FACT 10r carbon fibre. Its stiffness levels are excellent 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's Women's Endurance Geometry have been maintained.
The 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 that smoothness, speed and comfort could be improved in one fell swoop. Of all the bikes that Specialized have tested with their Rolling Efficiency Model, the new Ruby outperforms anything on the market.
It is spec'd with a host of components that blur the lines between steadfast reliability and outright performance, like Shimano Ultegra 11-speed shifting, powerful 8020 hydraulic disc brakes, svelte and sturdy Roval SLX 24 wheels and a women's-specific saddle that provides all-day comfort.
