{"product_id":"specialized-roubaix-sl8","title":"Specialized Roubaix SL8","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe created the endurance road category two decades ago proving that high ergonomics means high performance. Today, the new Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster, and smoother than any road bike ever made, unleashing unmatched confidence. The road may be hell below, but on Roubaix, it’s always heaven above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis build is equipped with Shimano’s dependable Tiagra groupset, delivering confident hydraulic disc braking and precise 11-speed shifting for endurance riders who want proven performance at an accessible price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOMPLIANCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Future Shock 3.0 is the star of the show, more tunable, adjustable, and durable than ever. Now, regardless of position on the bike, every rider experiences 20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube. Future Shock helps keep your hands and bars steady for a smoother ride with more control to stay fast, safe, and confident. Our dropped clamp design exposes more seatpost to increase deflection, and the Pavé seatpost controls that deflection for optimal vertical compliance. Together they create AfterShock technology, delivering a smooth ride with no loss in efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePROVEN SMOOTHER:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Roubaix SL8 is the smoothest road bike our Ride Science Team has ever tested—reducing impacts at the bars and saddle by 53% vs. the nearest competition. With Future Shock 3.0 the wheel quickly moves over the bump while rider mass remains stable, maintaining momentum in rough terrain. Smoother is indeed faster.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAPABILITY:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, so you ride “IN” the bike, not “ON” the bike, relieving pressure on your hands, arms, and shoulders—confident on any road, yet ready to dissect a mountain descent at full gas. Tyre clearance up to 40mm delivers better traction on rough roads and even light gravel, with no downsides thanks to lightweight, super-efficient Specialized tyres.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREADY FOR BIG DAYS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three bottle mounts, top-tube mounts, and fender-ready—Roubaix is built for really big days on the bike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePERFORMANCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e The new Roubaix SL8 is our most aero yet, with new aero shapes from the Free Foil library and dropped seat stays. At just 950 grams, the frame is lighter, utilising lessons learned from the Aethos—the world’s lightest production frame—and FACT 10r carbon blend. Nothing in its class is faster or lighter than the Roubaix.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eFrameset\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFACT 10r, Rider First Engineered™ (RFE), FreeFoil Shape Library tubes, threaded BB, 12x142mm thru-axle, flat-mount disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eSuspension\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuture Shock 3.1 w\/ Smooth Boot, FACT Carbon 12x100mm, thru-axle, flat-mount disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eBrakes\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Brake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShimano BR-RS405, hydraulic disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Brake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShimano BR-RS405, hydraulic disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottom Bracket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShimano Threaded BSA BB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShift Levers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShimano Tiagra R4000, hydraulic disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Derailleur\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShimano Tiagra RD-R4000, 11-speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Derailleur\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShimano Tiagra R4000, braze-on\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrankset\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShimano Tiagra FC-R4000, 11-speed, 50\/34T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShimano CN-LG500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCassette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShimano CUES CS-RS400, 11-speed 11-36T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eWheels \u0026amp; Tyres\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInner Tubes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700x28-38mm, 48mm Presta valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Tyre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoadsport Wirebead Tyre, 700x32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Tyre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoadsport Wirebead Tyre, 700x32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Wheel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAxis Elite Disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Wheel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAxis Elite Disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eCockpit\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaddle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Geometry Power Sport, steel rails\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuture Stem, Comp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeat Binder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHidden drop clamp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeatpost\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS-Works Pavé\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandlebars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecialized Hover Comp, Alloy, 125mm Drop, 75mm Reach w\/Di2 Hole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupacaz Suave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.44kg (20lb 13.0oz), size 56 as tested.
