  • Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-Speed Drivetrain – Crisp, reliable, and fully electronic shifting with powerful hydraulic disc brakes for all-weather stopping power.
  • Endurance Geometry – Optimised fit puts the rider “in” the bike for all-day comfort, stability, and precise handling on descents.
  • Massive Tyre Clearance – Fits up to 40mm tyres for smooth efficiency on paved roads, cobblestones, or light gravel adventures.
  • Adventure-Ready Mounts – Three bottle cage mounts, top tube mounts, and fender compatibility for epic long-distance rides.
  • Aerodynamic Advantage – Dropped seat stays and optimized carbon shaping reduce drag, making it the most aero Roubaix ever.
  • Lightweight Build – Inspired by the Specialized Aethos, the Roubaix SL8 balances climbing efficiency with long-distance comfort.

The Specialized Roubaix SL8 Expert is the smoothest endurance road bike Specialized has ever built, delivering 53% better impact reduction at the bars and saddle compared to the competition. With Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting, disc brakes, and Future Shock 3.0 technology, this bike ensures precision, control, and comfort whether you’re racing, training, or exploring new roads.
