Description
With seven wins at Paris-Roubaix, the Specialized Roubaix has proven that Smoother is Faster. Until this moment, however, smooth has admittedly come with some compromises....But not anymore. The all-new 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 Rider-First 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 Rider-First 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 ABSORBTIONTo work in perfect unison with the new frame, Specialized also developed a totally-new S-Works 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 D-shape design found on the Tarmac, taking the compliance a step further by building additional flex into the upper and developing a new drop-clamp design in the frame. This provides plenty of compliance, while staying perfectly balanced with the front-end, 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 fully-open to stiff, while hydraulically-damped 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.KEY FEATURESFRAME: FACT 10R Rider First Engineered, FreeFoil Shape Library Tubes, Threaded BB, 12 x 142mm Thru-Axle, Flat Mount DiscFORK: Future Shock 2.0 with Smooth Boot, 12 x 100mm Thru Axle, Flat Mount DiscBRAKESET: SRAM Rival 1 Hydraulic DiscGROUPSET: SRAM Rival eTap AXS 12 SpeedChainring Ratio: 46/33TCassette Ratio: 10-36TFront Derailleur: Braze OnBottom Bracket: SRAM DUB BSA 68WHEELSET: DT Swiss R470, Tubeless Ready, 24H, Specialized Full Sealed Bearing Thru Axle Hubs, Centre lock Disc, DT Swiss Champion 14 gram Stainless Steel Spokes, DT Swiss Brass Nipples.TYRES: Specialized Turbo Pro 700 x 28mm
