Specialized - Roubaix Comp

With six wins at Paris-Roubaix, our Roubaix proved that “Smoother is Faster”. Until now, however, softness has admittedly had some commitments. But no more. The totally new Roubaix Comp now offers comfort without compromise by presenting a radically new Future Shock 1.5, which gives you greater control on bad roads, a new Pavé seat post that creates our Roubaix more balanced to date, aerodynamic than the equates with Tarmac, and a Rider-First Engineered ™ frame that has seriously lost weight. But is it still comfortable? Sure, but don't call it a comfort bike, because performance was behind all the engineering decisions we made. This is the new Roubaix.


The new frame offers uncompromised comfort through a perfect balance of aerodynamics, overall lightness thanks to its FACT 10r carbon construction, compliance, and Rider-First Engineering ™. With tube shapes that were born in our FreeFoil Shape Library and validated in Win Tunnel, the new Roubaix is ​​as aero as the Tarmac SL6. However, in order to ensure the weight and quality of behavior, we used a Rider-First Engineered ™ design to deliver optimum rigidity and compliance in all sizes, from 44 to 61. Of course, the frame lost real weight during the process. And to prepare you for your “Northern Hell”, we created space for 33mm tires.
To accompany the new frame, we have also developed an entirely new S-Works Pavé seat post. Not only is it the first compliant seat post, it is also aerodynamic, has no extra weight or gadgets. Starting with the same D-shaped design that we found at Tarmac, we took your comfort a step further by building additional flexibility at the top and developing a new clip design dropped into the frame. This offers plenty of complacency, while remaining in perfect balance with the front, so that you have a smooth and balanced behavior, regardless of the type of road.
With 20mm of tame course on bad ground, Future Shock 1.5 not only offers a smoother and more comfortable behavior, but also reduces fatigue and increases speed over bad terrain. At the same time, the new Smooth Boot improves aesthetics to offer a cleaner transition between forehead and forehead.
