Specialized Roubaix Sport Apex 2024

Like heaven through hell

Two decades ago, Specialized proved that high ergonomics mean high performance with what was then a completely new category of long-distance racing bikes. Today, the new Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster and smoother than any other endurance road bike. No matter how much hell the road may be, the new Roubaix drives like it's in heaven.

The smoothest road bike ever

When you're on bad roads, Future Shock 3.0 and AfterShock technology reduce impacts by 53% compared to the competition. Smooth, controlled and with less fatigue, the Roubaix lets you float above the chaos safely and comfortably, while remaining unyielding to lateral forces and nimble for optimal power transfer and precise handling.

More speed. More control. More safety.

Future Shock 3.0 is the star of the show. More adjustable and more durable than ever. Regardless of your position on the bike, you benefit from the gentle and smooth handlebar suspension between the stem and head tube with 20 mm of travel. The Future Shock provides a smooth handlebar and more control so you can ride faster, safer and more confidently.

Smooth Operators

The Roubaix SL8 is the smoothest road bike Specialized 's Ride Science team has ever tested. With the Future Shock 3.0 you can move quickly over bumps without changing your center of gravity. This means your momentum is maintained on rough terrain and thanks to the greater stability you are safer on the move. Conventional forks bend upon impact, causing a measurable loss of speed. The Ride Science Team creates science facts: smoother is faster.

Highlights

• Compliance: The smoothest road bike ever built - more speed, more control, less fatigue
• Performance: Groundbreaking endurance geometry and more tire clearance - bad roads are no longer an excuse
• Performance: No bike in its class is more aerodynamic, lighter or more direct
