You created the endurance road category two decades ago, proving that high ergonomics means high performance.

Today, the new Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster and smoother than any road bike ever made, unleashing unrivaled confidence. The road may be hell below, but on the Roubaix, its always heaven above.

• COMPLIANCE: Future Shock 3.0 is the star of the show – more adjustable, tunable and durable than ever before. Now, regardless of position on the bike, every rider experiences 20mm of smooth, friction-free travel between the stem and head tube. Future Shock helps keep your hands and handlebars stable for a smoother ride with increased control to stay fast, safe and confident.

• Our dropped clamp design exposes more of the seatpost for increased deflection, but more isnt simply better. The Pav seatpost controls that deflection for optimal vertical compliance. Together they create AfterShock technology, and when combined with the Roubaixs stiff rear triangle, they deliver a smooth ride without loss of efficiency.

• The Roubaix SL8 is the smoothest road bike our Ride Science team has ever tested, reducing shocks to the handlebars and saddle by 53% versus the closest competition. With the Roubaixs Future Shock 3.0, the wheel moves quickly over the bump, while the riders mass remains stable, maintaining speed over rough terrain. Typical forks deflect backwards on impact, causing a measurable loss of speed. Its a scientific fact, softer really is faster.

• CAPABILITY: The Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, so you ride IN the bike, not ON the bike, to relieve pressure on your hands, arms and shoulders for capability and confidence on any road, and its ready to descend mountains at full speed. Hunker down.

• With tire clearance up to 38c/40mm, this endurance road machine offers enhanced traction on rough roads and even light gravel. Thanks to lightweight, super-efficient Specialized tires, that extra tire volume and traction comes at no cost.

• The Roubaix inspires truly BIG days on the bike, so we’ve given it every mount your adventures could ever need: three bottle mounts, top tube mounts, and it’s even fender-ready. So go ahead and bring it all along for the ride.

• PERFORMANCE: The new Roubaix SL8 is our most aero bike yet, featuring new aero shapes from our Free Foil library and dropped seat stays. At just 950 grams, the frame is lighter, utilizing lessons learned from the Aethos the worlds lightest production frame and the Fact 10r carbon blend. Nothing in its class is faster or lighter than the Roubaix.
