Specialized Roubaix Expert Road Bike 2017

We always knew that smoother was faster but before the all-new Roubaix Expert we couldn’t have imagined just how much faster it actually is. The frame is the lightest that we’ve ever made and it’s been constructed from our FACT 10r carbon fiber. Its stiffness levels are also off the charts and compared to the SL4 iteration of yesteryear you’ll experience a whole new faster and more efficient geometry. Through some engineering sorcery however we’ve managed to keep the same fit feel and position that we’ve all come to love from the SL4. Of course you’re probably thinking “get on to the suspension thing up front.” We call it Future Shock and essentially it’s a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. We developed this technology in partnership with McLaren Applied Technologies and the result of this are a host of drastic performance improvements namely in the vertical compliance department. Without giving a physics lecture we found that focusing on vertical compliance instead of fork splay meant that we could improve smoothness speed and comfort in one fell swoop. And of all the bikes that we’ve tested with our Rolling Efficiency Model the new Roubaix outperforms anything on the market. Lastly we spec’d it with awesome components like Ultegra 6800 11-speed shifting hydraulic disc brakes and ultra-tough DT R460 Disc Pro wheels. Featuring our Rider-First Engineered™ design that ensures every frame size has the same legendary responsiveness and smooth ride quality that you’d expect from a Roubaix. The FACT 10r frameset is exceptional in every way offering the ideal blend of light overall weight and targeted stiffness. Meanwhile the all-new Future Shock “suspension” system at the cockpit delivers a revolutionary degree of comfort and control. A Roubaix Disc fork is built from our top-end FACT 11r carbon fibre for supreme stiffness strength and reactivity while a thru-axle design only stands to bolster all of the above. Shimano BR-805 hydraulic disc brakes deliver smooth modulation and lever feel and more importantly incredible stopping power in any condition.FRAMEFACT 10r carbon Endurance Geometry Rider-First Engineered™ 12x142mm thru-axle Future Shock suspension 20mm of travelFORKRoubaix disc FACT 11r carbon 12x100mm thru-axleFRONT WHEELDT R470 Disc Pro thru-axle 2Bliss ReadyREAR WHEELDT R470 Disc Pro thru-axle 2Bliss ReadyINNER TUBES700x20/28mm 48mm Presta valveFRONT TYRETurbo Pro 700x26mm 60TPI folding bead BlackBelt protectionREAR TYRETurbo Pro 700x26mm 60TPI folding bead BlackBelt protectionCRANKSETShimano Ultegra CompactCHAINRINGS50/34TSHIFT LEVERSShimano ST-RS685 11-speedFRONT DERAILLEURShimano Ultegra braze-onREAR DERAILLEURShimano Ultegra long cage 11-speedCASSETTEShimano Ultegra 11-speed 11-32tCHAINShimano Ultegra 11-speedFRONT BRAKEShimano hydraulic Ice-Tech resin pads w/finsREAR BRAKEShimano Ultegra hydraulic resin pads w/finsHANDLEBARSSpecialized Hover Expert Alloy 15mm rise 125mm drop 75mm reachTAPES-Wrap Roubaix w/stickygelSTEMSpecialized Pro SL alloy 4-boltSADDLEPhenom Expert GT Adaptive Edge design hollow titanium rails 143mmSEATPOSTSpecialized CG-R FACT carbon single bolt 27.2mm
