Sure we always knew that smoother was faster but before the Roubaix Expert with our Future Shock technology we couldnt have imagined just how much faster being smooth actually is.
The super-light frame has been constructed from our FACT 10r carbon fibre. Its stiffness levels are also off the charts and compared to the SL4 iteration of yesteryear youll experience a whole new faster and more efficient geometry.
Through some engineering sorcery however weve managed to keep the same fit feel and position that weve all come to love from the SL4 and kept it consistent throughout the size-range due to our Rider-First Engineered™ construction.
Of course youre probably thinking get on to the suspension thing up front. We call it Future Shock and essentially its 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 weve tested with our Rolling Efficiency Model the new Roubaix outperforms anything on the market.
For this Roubaix we specd Shimanos new mechanical Ultegra 8000 to handle shifting duties with Ultegra 8020 hydraulic disc brakes to match. We then topped it off with lightweight alloy Roval SLX 24 disc wheels laced to DT Swiss 350 hubs to keep you rolling smoothly.
Featuring our Rider-First Engineered™ design that ensures every frame size has the same legendary responsiveness and smooth ride quality that youd expect from a Roubaix. The FACT 10r frameset holds its own with our high-end carbon offerings with the ideal blend of light overall weight and targeted stiffness while the all-new Future Shock suspension system at the cockpit delivers a revolutionary degree of comfort and control.
A Roubaix Disc fork is built from our FACT carbon fibre for supreme stiffness strength and reactivity while a thru-axle design only stands to bolster all of the above.
The Roval SLX 24 Disc wheelset features a sub-1600-gram weight a 20-millimeter internal width and an alloy construction that makes it a solid performer for any cross event.
