Specialized Roubaix Sl8 Sport Apex

Experience the smoothest ride ever with the Roubaix SL8 Sport Apex's revolutionary Future Shock 3.0 suspension.

 Endurance & Comfort:

• Pioneering Comfort: We founded the endurance road bike category decades ago, proving that comfort and performance go hand-in-hand.
• Unmatched Comfort: The all-new Roubaix SL8 boasts the smoothest ride ever experienced by our engineers, reducing handlebar and saddle impacts by 53% compared to its rivals.
• Future Shock 3.0: The revolutionary Future Shock 3.0 is fully adjustable and more durable than ever, offering 20mm of smooth travel between the stem and head tube. This innovation keeps your hands and handlebars stable, promoting a smoother, more controlled ride, and boosting your confidence on the road.
• AfterShock Technology: Our dropped clamp design increases seatpost deflection, but with precise control thanks to the Pavé seatpost. This creates AfterShock technology, which, combined with the rigid rear triangle, delivers an incredibly smooth ride without sacrificing efficiency.

Versatility & Capability:

• Ride "In" the Bike: The Roubaix's endurance geometry positions you "in" the bike, not "on" it, alleviating pressure on your upper body for exceptional comfort and confidence on any terrain, even aggressive descents.
• Gravel-Ready: With tire clearance up to 38c/40mm, the Roubaix tackles rough roads and even light gravel with ease. Specialized's lightweight and efficient tires ensure that wider tires don't compromise performance.
• Adventure-Ready Mounts: The Roubaix boasts three water bottle mounts, top-tube mounts, and fender compatibility, allowing you to carry everything you need for extended adventures.

Speed & Efficiency:

• Aerodynamic Advantage: The new Roubaix SL8 is our most aerodynamic yet, featuring shapes derived from our Free Foil library and dropped seat stays.
• Lightweight Champion: At just 950 grams, the frame is incredibly light, leveraging lessons learned from the Aethos - the world's lightest production frame - and utilizing the advanced Fact 10r carbon blend. The Roubaix stands alone in its class for speed and weight.

Overall:

The new Roubaix SL8 isn't just a comfortable endurance bike; it's the smoothest, fastest, and most versatile road bike ever offered by Specialized.
