Specialized ROUBAIX COMP – The Ultimate Endurance Road Bike
Twenty years ago, Specialized redefined road cycling with the Roubaix, proving that comfort and speed go hand in hand. Now, the Roubaix SL8 takes this innovation to a new level. Lighter, faster, and smoother than ever before, the Roubaix delivers unmatched control and confidence, allowing you to conquer any road—no matter how rough it gets.
Equipped with Shimano 105 Di2 electronic shifting, hydraulic disc brakes, and DT Swiss G540 Disc wheels, the Roubaix Comp is built to offer a smooth, efficient, and thrilling ride.
Unmatched Compliance – Future Shock 3.0 & AfterShock Technology
The heart of the Roubaix SL8 is Future Shock 3.0, a system that provides:
20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube, absorbing shocks without compromising speed or control.
More adjustability and durability than ever before, ensuring a precise and stable ride in all conditions.
A new Pavé seatpost with AfterShock technology – Maximizes vertical compliance without sacrificing efficiency, working alongside the rigid rear triangle for a smooth yet powerful ride.
The Roubaix SL8 has been scientifically tested to provide:
✅ 53% less vibration at the bars and saddle compared to competitors.
✅ Better momentum retention on rough terrain.
✅ Less speed loss on impact, keeping you fast and efficient.
Endurance Geometry & Versatile Capability
The Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, placing you in the bike rather than on it. This:
Reduces pressure on your hands, arms, and shoulders, making long rides more comfortable.
Maintains aggressive handling, allowing you to attack descents and corners with confidence.
Optimizes weight distribution, keeping you stable and efficient on mixed terrain.
With a tire clearance of up to 40mm, the Roubaix SL8 is ready for rough roads and light gravel, providing better traction and a plush ride without extra drag.
Aerodynamic & Lightweight Performance
The Roubaix SL8 is the most aerodynamic and lightweight version yet, featuring:
New aerodynamic frame shapes inspired by the FreeFoil library.
Dropped seat stays for reduced drag.
A lightweight 950g FACT 10r carbon frame, utilizing lessons from the Aethos – the world’s lightest production frame.
Nothing in its class is lighter or faster than the Roubaix SL8.
Adventure-Ready Features
The Roubaix SL8 is designed for epic long rides, featuring:
✅ Three bottle cage mounts – Stay hydrated on long adventures.
✅ Top tube mounts – Easily attach extra gear.
✅ Fender-ready design – Ride in any weather with full coverage.
