Introducing the Roubaix SL8: The Ultimate Endurance Road Bike
Two decades ago, we created the endurance road category, proving that high ergonomics lead to high performance. Today, the Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster, and smoother than any road bike before it, delivering unmatched confidence on every ride. The road may be rough below, but on the Roubaix, it’s pure heaven above.
Now, the world’s smoothest road bike is paired with the SRAM RED AXS groupset with a power meter—lightweight, electronic, and fast—and the Roval Terra CLX II tubeless-ready wheelset, creating the perfect combination for a ride that’s both smooth and blistering fast.
At the heart of the Roubaix SL8 is Future Shock 3.0, more tunable, adjustable, and durable than ever. With 20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube, it provides a level of control and stability that keeps your hands and bars steady—whether you’re climbing, descending, or cruising the long miles. Future Shock allows you to ride faster, safer, and with more confidence.
Our dropped clamp design increases seatpost deflection, but “more” isn’t always better. The Pavé seatpost controls that deflection for optimal vertical compliance, creating AfterShock technology—a combination that, paired with the Roubaix’s rigid rear triangle, delivers a smooth, efficient ride without sacrificing power transfer.
The Roubaix SL8 is the smoothest bike our Ride Science Team has ever tested, reducing impacts at the bars and saddle by 53% compared to competitors. With Future Shock 3.0, the wheel absorbs the bumps while your body stays stable, maintaining momentum. Unlike typical forks, which deflect backward on impact and cause a loss in speed, the Roubaix keeps you moving forward. It’s simple: smoother is faster.
The Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, allowing you to ride “IN” the bike, not “ON” it. This geometry relieves pressure on your hands, arms, and shoulders, allowing you to ride longer and more comfortably, while still maintaining full control when descending at speed.
With tire clearance up to 40mm, the Roubaix SL8 is more capable than ever, offering superior traction and comfort on rough roads and light gravel. Thanks to lightweight, high-performance Specialized tires, you get all the extra tire volume without any compromise in speed or efficiency.
Built for long days and big adventures, the Roubaix is equipped with multiple mounting points—three bottle mounts, top-tube mounts, and fender compatibility—so you can bring everything you need for the ride.
The Roubaix SL8 is now more aero than ever, thanks to new aero shapes from our Free Foil library and dropped seat stays. At just 828 grams, the frame is 50 grams lighter than before, incorporating the latest lessons from the Aethos (the world’s lightest production frame) and Fact 12r carbon. Nothing in its class is faster or lighter than the Roubaix.
From long endurance rides to fast descents, the Roubaix SL8 is the ultimate blend of comfort, control, and performance. Whether you’re chasing KOMs or conquering new terrain, it’s the ride that elevates every adventure.

Cycle to Work Scheme: Affordable Riding for UK Employees
Unlock a cost-effective way to own the bike of your dreams through the Cycle to Work Scheme. This initiative, available to employees in the UK, lets you enjoy the benefits of cycling while saving on your bike purchase.
With the Cycle to Work Scheme, you can use your pre-tax salary to acquire a brand-new bicycle and essential cycling accessories. This means significant savings for you, as your salary sacrifice reduces both your income tax and National Insurance contributions.
The process is seamless: Choose the bike that suits your needs and budget from our extensive range. Your employer will then set up a salary sacrifice arrangement, spreading the cost of your bike over a specified period, typically 12 to 18 months.
Once the salary sacrifice period ends, you have the option to own the bike outright for a nominal fee, ensuring you get to keep and enjoy your trusted two-wheeled companion for years to come.
