Specialized Roubaix Sport Road Bike 2018
Low in weight, high in strength and offering a supremely comfortable ride otherwise unmatched in the cycling industry, the Specialized Roubaix Sport Road Bike 2018 is the ideal choice for the versatile, determined rider who doesn’t stop when the road gets rough.
Specialized’s FACT 9r carbon fibre frame construction is the behind the impressively low weight, and the FACT carbon fork furthers this and improves front end handling for a responsive, snappy ride. When twinned with the Endurance Geometry, you get a comfort orientated, smooth ride that allows for efficient, fast accelerations, too.
Future Shock is another truly innovative aspect of the Roubaix, and it truly sets itself apart from the rest of what the cycling industry has on offer. Providing 20mm of vibration damping suspension, the road ahead is smoothed out and you’ll be able to ride in greater comfort for longer distances.
Shimano’s 105 5800, 11-speed gearing gives a wide range of gearing to keep you spinning up harsh gradients, yet still gives enough to power along the flats and gain time down the descents. The 105 STI levers are shaped beautifully to your fingers, ensuring you don’t have to stretch out to get your fingertips around them.
Tektro Spyre mechanical disc brakes are another greater addition, giving you predictable, reliable braking over long distances and wet conditions. They modulate heat efficiently, and their mechanical nature means if you get a problem by the side of the road, they can be easily fixed.
Specialized’s Axis Sport Disc wheels and Turbo Pro tyres work efficiently together to stay strong and enhance puncture resistance. The wheels are known for their great strength and low weight, meaning you can accelerate away from the group with ease and the tyres respond immediately when you lay down the power.
