Two decades ago we created the Endurance road category showing that high ergonomics means high performance. Today, the new Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster and more comfortable than any road bike ever manufactured, offering the cyclist unmatched confidence. The road can be hell, but riding on a Roubaix is always like pedaling in the sky.
DETAILS
COMODITY
The Future Shock 3.0 is the star of the show, more adjustable and durable than ever. Now, regardless of the position on the bike, each cyclist experiences 20 mm of smooth route and without adherence between the power and the steering tube. Future Shock helps keep your hands and handlebars firm for smoother driving and with more control to roll fast, safe and confident.
Our design with the lower tige clamp exposes more sillin tile to increase the bending, but "more" is not simply better. The Pavé sillion tile controls that bending for optimal vertical comfort. Together they create AfterShock technology, and when combined with the rigid rear triangle of the Roubaix, they provide smooth driving without loss of efficiency.
The Roubaix SL8 is the most comfortable road bike that our Ride Science team has ever tried, reducing the impacts on the handlebar and the seat by 53% compared to the nearest competition. With Roubaix's Future Shock 3.0, the wheel moves quickly on the bump, while the cyclist's mass remains stable, keeping momentum on abrupt terrain. Traditional forks flex back to an impact, causing a measurable loss of speed. It's a scientific fact, more comfortable is faster.
CAPACITY
The Roubaix was a pioneer in the geometry of the endurance category, so it leads "EN" the bike, not "SOBRE" the bicycle to relieve the pressure on the hands, arms and shoulders to offer confidence on any road, and is prepared to face a mountain descent at full speed. Shut up!
RECOMMENDATION
With a capacity for tires up to 38c/40mm, this endurance road machine offers better traction than ever on abrupt and even light gravel roads. Thanks to its light and efficiency, the Specialized tires offer extra volume and greater traction without compromising performance.
The Roubaix inspires us to plan really GREAT days on the bike, so we have given you all the supports that your adventures might need: three holders for slides, supports for the upper tube and is even prepared for mudguards. So, go ahead, take everything with you.
The new Roubaix SL8 is the most aerodynamic to date, with new aerodynamic forms extracted from our Free Foil library and low shooters. With only 950 grams, the picture is lighter thanks to the lessons learned from the Aethos - the lightest production picture in the world - and our carbon fiber Fact 10r of first quality. Nothing in its category is faster or lighter than Roubaix.
