Hitting a sweet spot between performance and value, the Roubaix Sport was designed to thrive on long rides through rough country.
The light weight frame has been constructed from our FACT 9r carbon fiber. Its stiffness levels are also off the charts, and compared to the SL4 iteration of yesteryear, you'll experience a whole new, faster, and more efficient geometry. Through some sophisticated engineering, however, we've managed to keep the same fit, feel, and position that we've all come to love from the SL4, and kept it consistent throughout the size-range with our Rider-First Engineered™ construction.
Of course, you're probably thinking, "get on to the suspension thing up front." We call it Future Shock, and essentially, it's a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. We developed this technology in partnership with McLaren Applied Technologies, and the result of this are a host of drastic performance improvements, namely in the vertical compliance department. Without giving a physics lecture, we found that focusing on vertical compliance, instead of fork splay, meant that we could improve smoothness, speed, and comfort in one fell swoop. And of all the bikes that we've tested with our Rolling Efficiency Model, the Roubaix outperforms anything on the market.
Lastly, we spec'd the Roubaix Sport with 105 11-speed mechanical shifting, hassle-free Tektro Spyre mechanical disc brakes, and DT R470 Disc wheels that have been cased in our Turbo Pro 28mm tires.

I own this bike for nearly a year now. It has the perfect balance between comfort, performance and reliability. What i really like about this bike: quality frame which is quite lightweight, reliable DT Swiss 470db wheelset, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes for very powerful and reliable braking, Specialized Future Shock component on the stem absorbs all road vibrations and prevents from transmitting into rider's hands. The best part about this bike is that it can handle uneven surfaces, gravel, small potholes, cobblestones with absolute ease. If you are into long rides/ endurance rides, i highly recommend this bike. It has an endurance geometry along with really crisp 105 shifters. It supports tubeless setup, but i opted for tubes. Handling and stability is superior. This is a bike clearly meant for long days on the saddle. The frame soaks in a lot of the road vibration, and hence controls rider fatigue. Overall my conclusion is that this is a highly reliable equipment, and one can never go wrong with this purchase.
