Boasting an impressive seven victories at Paris-Roubaix, the Specialized Roubaix Road Bike has long championed the mantra that "Smoother is Faster." However, until now, achieving smoothness has often meant making compromises. Enter the all-new Roubaix Expert, a bike that redefines compliance without concession. Featuring a revolutionary Future Shock 1.5, the Roubaix Expert offers enhanced control on rough roads, complemented by a new Pavé seatpost that ensures unparalleled balance. With aerodynamics rivalling the Tarmac and a Rider-First Engineered™ frame that has shed significant weight, this is not merely a comfort bike, it's a performance powerhouse, meticulously engineered for speed and agility.
For those seeking exceptional value without compromise, the Roubaix Sport delivers in spades. Equipped with Shimano's reliable 105 11-speed groupset for crisp shifts and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, along with sturdy DT R470 Disc wheels, the all-new S-Works Pavé seatpost, 28mm Turbo Pro tyres, and the popular Power Sport saddle, this bike exemplifies versatility and performance at an unbeatable price point.
The redesigned frame of the Roubaix ensures compliance without compromise, striking the perfect balance between aerodynamics, lightness, compliance, and Rider-First Engineering. Born from the FreeFoil Shape Library and refined in the Win Tunnel, the new Roubaix is more aerodynamic than the Tarmac SL6. With a focus on optimal stiffness and compliance across all sizes, from 44 to 64cm, the Rider-First Engineered™ design guarantees a superior ride quality for every rider. Additionally, the frame has shed significant weight while accommodating up to 33mm tyres for tackling any terrain.
Accompanying the new frame is the innovative S-Works Pavé seatpost, the first compliant and aerodynamic seatpost of its kind. Designed with a D-shape construction for enhanced compliance and a new drop-clamp design for perfect balance with the front-end, it ensures a smooth and balanced ride, even on the roughest roads.
With 20mm of travel, the Future Shock 1.5 enhances ride comfort and reduces fatigue while improving speed on challenging terrain. The addition of the Smooth Boot not only enhances aesthetics but also ensures a clean transition from the head tube to the stem, completing the bike's sleek and performance-driven design.
