The idea of a perfect road is a myth as theres always a chip a crack a rough patch—you name it. But with our all-new Roubaix Elite youll be taming wild asphalt without any extra effort. This is how road bikes were always meant to be. The frame is the lightest that weve ever made and its been constructed from our FACT 10r carbon fiber. 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. 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.
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 is exceptional in every way offering the ideal blend of light overall weight and targeted stiffness. Meanwhile 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 top-end FACT 11r carbon fiber for supreme stiffness strength and reactivity while a thru-axle design only stands to bolster all of the above.
This Praxis Alba 2D crankset is perfect for tackling steep grades and rough roads and it also features supreme ramping for precise shifts between rings.
