Description
The new S-Works Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.3 is one of the smoothest and most comfortable road bikes on the market. The Roubaix range is perfect for us mere mortals who love to ride fast, but don't care to hold the more aggressive and less comfortable riding position of the Tarmac range.
Now, the S-Works Roubaix SL8 comes with the all-new, aero paradigm-shifting speed of Roval Rapide CLX III wheels, sought-after top shelf SRAM Red AXS wireless groupset with power meter and cermaic bearing bottom bracket, featherweight Roval alpinist carbon bars and S-Works SL stem and S-Works Pavè carbon seatpost and the comfort and weight saving of a S-Works Power saddle with Mirror technology.
COMPLIANCE: Future Shock 3.0 is the star of the show, more tunable, adjustable, and durable than ever. Now, regardless of position on the bike, every rider experiences 20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube. Future Shock helps keep your hands and bars steady for a smoother ride with more control to stay fast, safe, and confident.
The dropped clamp design exposes more seatpost to increase deflection, but “more” isn’t simply better. The Pavé seatpost controls that deflection for the optimal vertical compliance. Together they create AfterShock technology, and when paired with the Roubaix’s rigid rear triangle, deliver a smooth ride with no loss in efficiency.
The Roubaix SL8 reduces impacts at the bars and saddle by 53% vs. the nearest competition. With Roubaix’s Future Shock 3.0 the wheel quickly moves over the bump, while rider mass remains stable, maintaining momentum in rough terrain. Typical forks deflect backward on impact, causing a measurable loss in speed. It’s a scientific fact, smoother 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. With tire clearance up to 40mm, this endurance road machine delivers better traction than ever on rough roads and even light gravel. Thanks to lightweight, super-efficient Specialized tires, that extra tire volume and traction comes with no downsides.
Roubaix inspires really BIG days on the bike, so its been given it every mount your adventures could need - three bottle mounts, top-tube mounts, and it’s even fender-ready.
PERFORMANCE: The new Roubaix SL8 is Specialized's most aero yet, with new aero shapes from teir Free Foil library and dropped seat stays. At just 828 grams, the frame is lighter, utilizing lessons learned from the Aethos - the world’s lightest production frame - and premium Fact 12r carbon blend.
