Specialized Roubaix SL8 Sport Apex
Specialized introduced the endurance road category two decades ago, highlighting the pivotal role of top-notch ergonomics in achieving peak performance. The new Roubaix SL8, equipped with Future Shock 3.0, represents a groundbreaking leap in road bike technology. Renowned for its lightweight, speed, and unmatched smoothness, instilling unshakable confidence in its riders. While the road may pose challenges below, on the Roubaix, it's a heavenly journey.
Future Shock 3.0 takes the spotlight as an exceptionally tunable, adjustable, and durable feature. It ensures every rider enjoys a consistent 20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube, regardless of their position on the bike. Future Shock empowers riders to maintain steady hands and control, delivering a smoother, safer, and more confident ride.
Roubaix SL8 Sport 105 Geomerty
The Roubaix's pioneering endurance geometry enables riders to feel at one with the bike, reducing pressure on hands, arms, and shoulders. This unique design enhances both capability and confidence on diverse road surfaces. The Roubaix SL8 Sport Apex is primed to tackle mountain descents with finesse, making it an ideal choice for riders seeking versatility in their cycling adventures.
This Specialized Roubaix SL8 apex offers tire clearance of up to 38c/40mm and accommodates multiple mounts for bottle cages, top tubes, and fenders. Coupled with lightweight and highly efficient Specialized tires, the Roubaix delivers exceptional traction on rough roads and gravel, all without compromising performance. It's the perfect companion for epic cycling expeditions, inspiring riders to load up and embark on monumental journeys.
