Weve been saying it for years—smoother is faster. But with the all-new S-Works Roubaix Frameset, this philosophy is taken to new, remarkable heights. The frame is the lightest that Specialized has ever made, and its been constructed from their top-end FACT 11r 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, Specialised has 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. Specialized call it Future Shock, and essentially, its a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. Specialized 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, Specialized found that focusing on vertical compliance, instead of fork splay, meant that they could improve smoothness, speed, and comfort in one fell swoop. And of all the bikes that Specialized tested with their Rolling Efficiency Model, the new Roubaix outperforms anything on the market.
> | Featuring the 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 S-Works FACT 11r frameset is Specialized highest quality carbon frame, offering 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. |
> | An S-Works Roubaix Disc fork is built from the top-end FACT 11r carbon fibre for supreme stiffness, strength, and reactivity, while a thru-axle design only stands to bolster all of the above. |
> | FACT carbon CG-R seatpost has integrated elastomer inserts that help dissipate road chatter and vibration, without sacrificing responsiveness or power transfer. |
