Specialized Roubaix SL8 Pro

Beschreibung

The endurance race bike category was born 20 years ago from the idea that maximum ergonomics leads to maximum performance. The new Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster and smoother than any road bike, so you sit confidently in the saddle. No matter how hellish your road is: on the Roubaix you will always ride heavenly.

The Roubaix SL8 now features the new SRAM Force AXS groupset with power meter for lower weight, effortless braking and faster, more accurate shifting. 

• FLEXIBILITY: Future Shock 3.0 can take more than a beating and is fully adjustable and customisable. Experience the difference of the 20 mm smooth suspension travel between the stem and head tube, regardless of your position on the bike. Future Shock keeps your hands and handlebars stable, so you can ride safely, quickly and confidently without losing control.

• The lowered saddle clamp gives the seatpost more room to flex. Yet 'more flex' is not necessarily better, which is why the Pavé seatpost keeps that flex under control for optimal vertical flexibility. Together, they form AfterShock technology, which, combined with the frame's stiff rear end, ensures a smooth riding experience with maximum efficiency.

• The Roubaix SL8 is the smoothest road bike our Ride Science team has ever tested. Shocks to the handlebars and saddle are cushioned a whopping 53% better compared to similar models. Thanks to Future Shock 3.0, the Roubaix moves quickly over every bump, while your weight remains stable and you don't lose momentum on rough terrain. This is because most forks bend backwards when shocked, leading to significant loss of speed. Our bike is scientific proof: smoother cycling = faster cycling.

• CAPACITY: the Roubaix is a true pioneer of endurance geometry. You ride 'IN' the bike rather than 'ON' the bike, so to speak, relieving the pressure on your hands, arms and shoulders. This allows you to cycle confidently on flat roads, but also to go downhill at full speed. Make it easy on yourself!

• With enough room for tyres up to 38c/40mm, this endurance topper delivers more traction than ever on rough surfaces and even light gravel trails. Thanks to the lightweight Specialized tyres, the extra traction and larger tyre volume offer nothing but benefits.

• The Roubaix is perfect for long days on the bike. You have three bottle cages, top tube mounts and you can even mount mudguards. Ready for endless adventures.

• PERFORMANCE: The new Roubaix SL8 is the most aerodynamic Roubaix we have ever made, with new optimised shapes from our FreeFoil Shape Library and a lowered seat stays. By taking advantage of what we learned from the Aethos - the world's lightest production frame - and the premium FACT 12r carbon mix, we managed to create an ultra-light frame of just 828g. The Roubaix is faster and lighter than any other bike in its class.
