Specialized Roubaix Comp UDI2 Bike

The super-light frame has been constructed from their 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 sophisticated engineering, however, we’ve managed to keep the same fit, feel, and position that we’ve all come to love from the SL4, and kept it consistent throughout the size-range with their Rider-First Engineered™ construction. Of course, you’re probably thinking, get on to the suspension thing up front. Specialized call it Future Shock, and essentially, it’s a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. Specialized 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, Specialized found that focusing on vertical compliance, instead of fork splay, meant that Specialized could improve smoothness, speed, and comfort in one fell swoop. And of all the bikes that we’ve tested with their Rolling Efficiency Model, the Roubaix outperforms anything on the market. This Roubaix Comp comes equipped Shimano’s latest Ultegra 8050 Di2 shifting, hydraulic 8070 disc brakes, and alloy DT R470 Disc wheels.
