Roubaix SL8: The Ultimate Evolution of Endurance Road Performance
Two decades ago, we redefined endurance road bikes, proving that ergonomics and performance go hand in hand. Today, the new Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 takes that legacy even further—becoming lighter, faster, and smoother than any road bike before it, unlocking unparalleled confidence. The road may be a challenge beneath you, but on the Roubaix, every ride feels like a dream.
Future Shock 3.0 is the star of the show, offering a more tunable, adjustable, and durable system than ever before. Regardless of your riding position, you get 20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube. This advanced system ensures that your hands and bars stay steady, providing more control for a smoother ride, while helping you stay fast, safe, and confident on any terrain.
Our dropped clamp design exposes more of the seatpost, increasing its ability to deflect and add comfort. But more deflection isn’t always better—Pavé seatpost optimises that flex for the ideal amount of vertical compliance. Combined with the rigid rear triangle, this innovation creates AfterShock technology, ensuring a smooth ride with no sacrifice in power or efficiency.
The Roubaix SL8 is the smoothest road bike our Ride Science Team has ever tested, reducing impacts at the handlebars and saddle by 53% compared to the closest competitor. With Future Shock 3.0, the wheels glide over bumps while your body remains stable, maintaining speed in rough conditions. Unlike typical forks that deflect backward on impact (slowing you down), Future Shock ensures that smoother is faster.
The Roubaix revolutionised endurance geometry, allowing you to ride "IN" the bike rather than "ON" it. This design reduces pressure on your hands, arms, and shoulders, giving you the comfort and confidence to take on any road with ease. And when it’s time to attack a mountain descent or chase a KOM, the Roubaix is ready to deliver.
With tire clearance up to 40mm, the Roubaix SL8 delivers better traction than ever on rough roads and even light gravel. Thanks to lightweight, super-efficient Specialized tires, you get that extra tire volume without sacrificing speed or efficiency.
We’ve designed the Roubaix for epic rides, with every mount your adventures could require: three bottle mounts, top-tube mounts, and fender mounts. Load it up and hit the road, knowing you’re ready for anything.
The Roubaix SL8 is our most aero-efficient bike yet, with advanced aerodynamic shapes from our Free Foil library and dropped seat stays. At just 950 grams, the frame is 50 grams lighter than its predecessor, leveraging insights from the Aethos (the world’s lightest production frame) and our Fact 10r carbon blend.
With its lightness, aero efficiency, and performance, the Roubaix SL8 stands in a class of its own. No other endurance bike is faster or lighter, making it the ultimate choice for riders seeking the perfect combination of speed, comfort, and capability.

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.
