Specialized Roubaix SL8 Sport Shimano 105 Road Bike in Gloss Black

The Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster, and smoother than any road bike ever made, unleashing unmatched confidence.

Specialized created the endurance road category two decades ago, proving that high ergonomics means high performance. The Roubaix SL8 is the smoothest road bike Specialized's Ride Science Team has ever tested, reducing impacts at the bars and saddle by 53% compared to the nearest competition. With Future Shock 3.0, the wheel quickly moves over bumps while rider mass remains stable, maintaining momentum in rough terrain.

The Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, allowing riders to sit "in" the bike rather than "on" it to relieve pressure on hands, arms, and shoulders for capability and confidence on any road. With tire clearance up to 40mm, this endurance road machine delivers better traction on rough roads and light gravel. The frame is Specialized's most aero yet, featuring new aero shapes from the Free Foil library and dropped seat stays. At just 950 grams, the frame is lighter, utilizing lessons learned from the Aethos and Fact 10r carbon blend.

Features:

• Future Shock 3.0 provides 20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube.
• AfterShock technology, combining the dropped clamp design and Pavé seatpost, delivers a smooth ride with no loss in efficiency.
• Equipped with three bottle mounts, top-tube mounts, and is fender-ready.
