We 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, tuneable and durable than ever before. Now, regardless of position on the bike, every rider experiences 20mm of smooth, friction-free travel between the handlebar and head tube. Future Shock helps keep your hands and handlebars stable for a smoother ride with more control to keep you fast, safe and confident.

• Our dropped clamp design exposes more 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 rigid 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 Roubaixs Future Shock 3.0, the wheel moves quickly over the bump, while the riders mass remains stable, maintaining momentum on rough terrain. Typical forks deflect backwards on impact, causing a measurable loss of speed. Its a scientific fact, softer is indeed 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, but its ready to descend mountains at speed. Embrace it.

• With clearance for up to 38c/40mm tires, this endurance road machine offers better-than-ever traction on rough roads and even light gravel. Thanks to ultralight, super-efficient Specialized tires, that extra tire volume and traction comes without a hitch.

• Roubaix inspires some seriously BIG days on the bike, so weve given it all the mounts your adventures could ever need: three bottle cages, top tube mounts, and its even fender-ready. So go ahead, bring it all along for the ride.

• RUMBO: The new Roubaix SL8 is our most aerodynamic yet, featuring new aero shapes from our Free Foil library and dropped seat stays. At just 950 grams, the frame is lighter, using 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.
