The idea of a perfect road is a myth as there's always a chip a crack a rough patch—you name it. But with our all-new Roubaix Elite you'll be taming wild asphalt without any extra effort. This is how road bikes were always meant to be. The frame is the lightest that we've ever made and it's been constructed from our FACT 10r carbon fibre. Its stiffness levels are also off the charts and compared to the SL4 iteration of yesteryear you'll experience a whole new faster and more efficient geometry. Through some engineering sorcery however we've managed to keep the same fit feel and position that we've all come to love from the SL4. Of course you're probably thinking "get on to the suspension thing up front." We call it Future Shock and essentially it's 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 we've tested with our Rolling Efficiency Model the new Roubaix outperforms anything on the market. Lastly we spec'd it with awesome components like Shimano 105 11-speed shifting hydraulic disc brakes and ultra-tough Axis Elite Disc wheels.

Was concerned the bike would come in pieces and I’d have to go on a mechanics course before I could make it rideable. Turned out that mainly only a bit of common sense was needed. The bike came immaculately packed so it would’ve been pretty difficult for even the worst of couriers to break or damage it in any way. Furthermore it came when it was supposed to. So, all in all very satisfied with the service and the bike was sold at a decent price as I got in at the tail end of last year’s model at a huge discount. Had to make a phone call or two to clarify some answers to questions I had before the sale, and again after receiving the bike (on the torque settings as it’s a carbon bike), and everyone I spoke to was very helpful and polite. Would recommend the shop to anyone interested in Specialized, just a shame I live too far away to make use of the first free service!
