The Roubaix Expert from Specialized is a road bike that not only impresses with its performance at Paris-Roubaix - with seven victories - but also with its innovative design. This model represents a turning point as it offers comfort without compromise. It combines remarkable speed with first-class damping, thanks to the latest Future Shock 2.0 technology. The frame of the Roubaix Expert is made of FACT 10R carbon and is designed according to the Rider First Engineered™ principle. This means that every frame, regardless of size, offers optimum stiffness values and riding characteristics. The FreeFoil Shape Library tubes also contribute to aerodynamic efficiency. The frame is also equipped with a threaded bottom bracket, a 12x142mm thru-axle system and a flat-mount disc mount. The front end of the bike is adorned with the trend-setting Future Shock 2.0 fork with smooth boot, a 12x100mm thru-axle and also a flat-mount disc mount, which provides outstanding damping and thus more control and comfort, especially on uneven roads. For the brakes, the Roubaix Expert relies on Shimano Ultegra R8170 hydraulic discs, which are combined with the Shimano Ultegra R8150, 12-speed rear derailleur and the drive system of the same name. These components stand for maximum precision and reliability at all speeds and in all conditions. The Roubaix Expert combines advanced technology with traditional road bike design, ideal for cyclists who don't want to compromise between speed and comfort.

I wish it had mudguard mounts and it's certainly not cheap, but the Roubaix Expert is an exceptionally good bike. I’m starting to wish my other bikes had a Future Shock

Pros
  1. Future Shock works beautifully and ride quality is perfectly balanced front to rear
  2. big spec
  3. lovely paint job
Cons
  1. There’s no ignoring the price
  2. cable routing at the bar could be neater
  3. the Future Shock adjuster is surprisingly easy to break (if you’re an idiot like me)
  4. 2021 model is arguably less good value

VERDICT: The 2020 Specialized S-Works Roubaix is as comfortable as previous generations while matching the speed of the Tarmac SL6

Cycling Weekly

For riders looking for an endurance specialist that does a great job of killing road shocks then the Specialized Roubaix Comp fits the bill incredibly well. It's good looking, dependable and has the sort of component list that will stand the test of time....

Pros
  1. Ride performance
  2. Frame quality
  3. Future shock does a good job of smoothing out the road
Cons
  1. Heavy wheels suck away potential speed

Fast, sweet-handling bike with great comfort levels, but I'd like some control over the spring rate
