The Specialized Roubaix SL8 Expert is an advanced endurance road bike designed specifically for long distances and challenging road conditions. Its combination of comfort, aerodynamics, and lightweight construction delivers exceptional performance for ambitious riders. The frame of the Roubaix SL8 Expert is made from FACT 10R Carbon and utilizes Rider First Engineered technology. This approach ensures an optimal balance between stiffness and compliance across all frame sizes. Thanks to the FreeFoil Shape Library and aerodynamic tube shapes, the Roubaix achieves aerodynamics comparable to the Tarmac SL6. The frame accommodates tires up to 38c/40 mm wide and includes space for 12x142 mm thru-axles. The Future Shock 3.2 system features 20 mm of travel, effectively absorbing bumps and vibrations, which is particularly beneficial on rough roads and cobblestones. Combined with the S-Works Pavé seatpost, it provides a balanced ride feel and enhances comfort during long rides. The Roubaix SL8 Expert is equipped with the SRAM Rival eTAP AXS group, which includes a 12-speed electronic shifting system and hydraulic disc brakes. The 46/33T crankset and SRAM XG 1250, 10-36T cassette offer a wide gear range suitable for various terrains. The Roval Terra C wheels feature a 25 mm inner width and 32 mm rim depth, providing a stable base for the S-Works Mondo 2BR 700x32c tires. This combination minimizes rolling resistance while enhancing puncture protection. The cockpit consists of the Specialized Hover Expert handlebar and the Future Stem Pro stem, both designed for comfort and aerodynamics. The Body Geometry Power Expert saddle and the S-Works Pavé seatpost complete the setup, contributing to ride stability. The Specialized Roubaix SL8 Expert offers an excellent blend of comfort, performance, and technology. It is ideal for riders who take on long distances and demanding terrain while still seeking speed and efficiency.
