The S-Works Roubaix SL8 from Specialized marks a turning point in the road bike category. With a clear focus on endurance and comfort without sacrificing performance, Specialized has developed a bike that provides a heavenly riding experience even on the toughest roads. The latest model, the Roubaix SL8, sets new standards in terms of lightness, speed and smoothness. The frame of the Roubaix SL8 is made of FACT 12R carbon, one of the highest quality materials, and uses Rider First Engineered™ (RFE) technology and tubes from the FreeFoil Shape Library. This ensures optimum stiffness and efficiency while minimizing weight. Thanks to the 12x142mm thru-axle system and the flat-mount disc brake mount, the frame is not only ultra-modern, but also perfectly equipped for the demands of a modern road bike. The Future Shock 3.3 fork makes a significant contribution to comfort. With a 12x100mm axle and the same flat mount for disc brakes, it offers outstanding damping on uneven roads. This technology reduces fatigue and allows the rider to stay in the saddle for longer. For the drivetrain and brakes, Specialized relies on SRAM's Red eTAP AXS, a 12-speed system known for its precision, reliability and ease of use. The hydraulic disc brakes ensure reliable braking performance in all conditions, making the Roubaix SL8 an ideal companion, whether for races or long rides through rough terrain. In short, the S-Works Roubaix SL8 is a technological masterpiece that aims to take riding comfort and performance to a new level, allowing riders to redefine the limits of their endurance.

Well, it’s not the interrupted seatpost design we saw a while back (that one became the Sirrus commuter bike), but the new Roubaix promises a heavenly ride when it’s hell on the ground.
