{"product_id":"specialized-roubaix-expert-bike-1","title":"Specialized Roubaix Expert 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo decades ago, Specialised created the Enduro Road category, proving that ergonomics improves performance. Today, the Roubaix with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster and more comfortable than any other road bike. The road may be hellish under your tyres, but riding the new Roubaix is like riding in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVibration absorption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Future Shock 3.0 cartridge is the new star in the firmament, more adjustable and durable. Regardless of riding position, every cyclist can take advantage of 20mm of frictionless travel between the stem and head tube. Your hands stay steady on the handlebars, ensuring a smoother ride with greater control to be faster, safer and more confident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe low-clamp design exposes more of the seatpost to increase its flex. The Pavé seatpost “controls” this movement for optimal vibration absorption in the vertical plane. These two things together form “AfterShock” technology, and in combination with the Roubaix's stiff rear end, create a smooth ride without compromising efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComfort\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Roubaix is the most comfortable road bike ever tested by the Ride Science Team - it reduces handlebar impacts by 53% compared to other bikes in this category. With the Future Shock 3.0 cartridge, the wheel glides over obstacles while the rider remains stable and maintains their trajectory on rough terrain. Normally, the fork flexes backwards on impact, causing a loss of speed. It's scientific: more comfortable means faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapability\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, giving you the feeling of riding “in” the bike, not “on” the bike. This reduces pressure on your hands, shoulders and arms, giving you capability and confidence on any road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe new Roubaix is the most aerodynamic in its class, with new tube profiles generated by the Free Foil library and lowered rear stays. Building on the Aethos project - the lightest production road bike - they have created a new frame that weighs only 825 grams, made from FACT 12r carbon and 50 grams lighter than its predecessor. No other bike in this category is faster or lighter than the new Roubaix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTech Spec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrameset\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: FACT 10R, Rider First Engineered™ (RFE), FreeFoil Shape Library tubes, threaded BB, 12x142mm thru-axle, flat-mount disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFork: Future Shock 3.2 w\/ Smooth Boot, FACT Carbon 12x100mm, thru-axle, flat-mount disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Brake: Shimano Ultegra R8100, hydraulic brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Brake: Shimano Ultegra R8100, hydraulic brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShift Levers: Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8170, hydraulic disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Derailleur: Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8150, braze-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Derailleur: Shimano Ultegra R8150, 12-speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCassette: Shimano Ultegra, 12-speed, 11-34t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain: Shimano XT M8100, 12-speed w\/ quick link\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrankset: Shimano Ultegra R8100, 50\/34t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom Bracket: Shimano Threaded BSA BB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheels\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u0026amp; Tires\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Wheel: Roval C38, 21mm internal width carbon rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Tire: Mondo TLR Endurance Tire, 700x32c, GRIPTON T2\/T5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Tire: Mondo TLR Endurance Tire, 700x32c, GRIPTON T2\/T5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Wheel: Roval C38, 21mm internal width carbon rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner Tubes: 700x28\/38mm, 48mm Presta valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem: Future Stem, Pro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebars: Specialized Hover Expert, Alloy, 125mm Drop, 75mm Reach w\/Di2 Hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTape: Supacaz Super Sticky Kush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: Body Geometry Power Expert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatPost: S-Works Pave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat Binder: Hidden drop clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducers'\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eweight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.17 kg (size 56)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer's\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003enotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: depending on component availability, specifications are subject to change without notice.
