The new Roubaix was designed with more than just racing in mind. With seven wins at the Paris-Roubaix, the old frame has proven that it is more than capable. This go-round, Specialized wanted to take the Roubaix to another level. Reinventing the way we think about compliance, Specialized was able to shave weight, add stiffness, and create a Roubaix that is as aerodynamic as the Tarmac, but ready for the harshest roads in the world.
The Roubaix Expert is where things start to get serious on the Roubaix builds. As capable as the lower models are, the Expert brings uncompromising performance to the table with its Future Shock 2.0 with damper fork and carbon fiber Roval C 38 disc wheels. Shimano’s Di2 Ultegra wireless shifting system is used for quiet and reliable performance to match the balanced ride of the new Roubaix FACT 10r frame. Finally, Shimano Ultegra hydraulic discs keep things under control.
