SPECIALIZED ROUBAIX SL8 SPORT 105 BIRCH/WHITE MOUNTAINS/ABALONE

The ROUBAIX SL8 SPORT 105 12v is Specialized's endurance road bike, featuring a carbon frame equipped with the Future Shock 3.0 suspension system, fitted with a 12-speed mechanical Shimano 105 groupset and wheelsDT Swiss G540.

• VIBRATION ABSORPTION: The Future Shock 3.0 cartridge is the new star in the sky, more adjustable and durable. Regardless of the riding position, every cyclist can take advantage of 20mm of travel, friction-free, between the stem and the steerer tube. Hands on the handlebars remain steady, ensuring a smoother ride with greater control to be faster, safer, and more confident.

• The lowered clamp design exposes a larger portion of the seatpost to increase its flex. The Pavé seatpost 'controls' this movement for optimal vibration absorption in the vertical plane. These two features together form the 'AfterShock' technology, which, combined with the Roubaix's stiff rear triangle, creates a smooth ride without compromising efficiency.

• La Roubaix SL8 is the most comfortable road bike ever tested by our 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 line on rough terrain. Normally, the fork flexes backward on impact, causing a loss of speed. It's scientific: more comfort means more speed.

• CAPACITY: The Roubaix was a pioneer of endurance geometry, giving you the feeling of pedaling 'inside' the bike, not 'on' the bike. This reduces pressure on your hands, shoulders, and arms, providing you with capability and confidence on any road.

• With tire lights and a section up to 38c/40mm, this endurance road bike provides exceptional traction on rough roads or gravel. Thanks to the lightweight and efficient Specialized tires, this larger section has no drawbacks.

• La Roubaix makes you want to spend long days in the saddle, so we thought to equip it with everything you might need for bike adventures - three mounts for bottle cages, a mount for a bag on the top tube, and preparation for possible fenders. All that's left is for you to set off!
