What makes the Roubaix?
Future Shock 3.0
Future Shock 3.0 allows the wheel to quickly moves over bumps, while rider mass remains stable, helping maintain momentum and safety in rough terrain. It’s a scientific fact, smoother is indeed faster.
Pavé Seatpost
The Pavé seatpost with AfterShock technology helps keep you smooth, in control, with less fatigue, while your bike remains nimble and laterally rigid for power transfer and precise handling.
Tire Clearance
There is no more important square inch than your tire’s contact patch. That's why cyclists have been leading the shift to higher volume tires for efficiency, handling, and traction. The all new Roubaix accomodates tire clearance up to 38c/40mm.
Upright Geometry
Roubaix’s upright geometry relieves pressure on your hands, arms, and shoulders for capability and confidence on any road, yet it’s ready to dissect a mountain decent at full gas.
Pavé Seatpost
The Specialized Pavé seatpost design creates a smoother ride & minimizes abuse to the rider. When paired with the Roubaix’s rigid rear triangle, deliver a smooth ride with no loss in efficiency.
