With seven wins at ParisRoubaix, the Specialized Roubaix has proven that Smoother is Faster. Until this moment, however, smooth has admittedly come with some compromises….
But not anymore. The allnew Roubaix now delivers compliance without compromise by introducing a radical new Future Shock 2.0 that gives you more control and damping options, a new Pavé seatpost that creates the most balanced Roubaix to date, aerodynamics that equal the Tarmac, and a RiderFirst Engineered™ frame that’s shed some serious weight. Is it still comfortable? Sure, but don’t call it a comfort bike, because performance was behind every engineering decision. This is the new Roubaix.
ABOUT THE FRAME.
The new frame delivers compliance without compromise via the perfect balance of aerodynamics, light overall weight via a FACT 10r carbon construction, compliance, and RiderFirst Engineering. With tube shapes that were born in our FreeFoil Shape Library and validated in the Win Tunnel, the new Roubaix is more aero than the Tarmac SL6.
ABOUT THE ABSORBTION
To work in perfect unison with the new frame, Specialized also developed a totallynew SWorks Pavé seatpost. Not only is it the first compliant seatpost that’s ALSO aerodynamic, it does so without any additional weight or finicky contraptions. Starting with the same Dshape design found on the Tarmac, taking the compliance a step further by building additional flex into the upper and developing a new dropclamp design in the frame. This provides plenty of compliance, while staying perfectly balanced with the frontend, so you get a smooth, balanced ride no matter how rough the road.
The Future Shock 2.0 is the result of our pro riders’ demands for the cobbles of Roubaix. It’s smoother, faster, and gives you more control via a knob atop the stem. This knob adjusts compression from fullyopen to stiff, while hydraulicallydamped internals control rebound. Add it up, and this latest version will reduce fatigue and increase your speed, no matter the terrain. The new Smooth Boot, top cap, and Future Stem also enhance the aesthetic, so you get a clean transition from head tube to stem.
