Specialized S-Works Roubaix eTap 2018 - Road Bike

5/5 BikeRadar “The Roubaix's comfort, control and handling qualities are among the very best”

Speed, comfort, and precise handling on even the very roughest roads. The Specialized S-Works Roubaix eTap is an endurance road bike that features cutting-edge frame and component technology to offer the very best performance on less than perfect road surfaces.

Specialized developed the Roubaix to race over the challenging road surfaces that are found on Spring classic races, like the iconic Paris-Roubaix. The ultra-lightweight FACT 11r carbon frame is made from the very highest quality carbon fibres, and is ready to go the distance, especially on rough roads.

With the Future Shock, Specialized has taken comfort and control to the next level in road racing. Developed with the help of McLaren Applied Technologies, Future Shock is a suspension cartridge inside the headtube with 20mm travel working between the stem and frame. It effectively isolates much of the bumps from your hands, allowing the bike to maintain the same momentum. It’s particularly good for rough roads.

Paired with the Future Shock, the seatpost features rearward arc compliance that leaves room for the seatpost to flex slightly inside the frame, reducing vibrations and bumps from filtering to the saddle.

The Rider-First Engineered™ technology that Specialized use to build their frames takes into account people of all sizes, making each size of the bike ride with exactly the same characteristics, so everyone gets the same fantastic experience. The rear of the frame has a thru-axle and 12x142mm spacing, keeping it stiff and responsive. The FACT carbon fork is lightweight and stiff, especially with its 12x100mm spacing and thru-axle, allowing extremely precise steering.

The SRAM eTap 2x11 speed electronic drivetrain takes road bike gear shifting to the next level by combining intuitive gear selection with ultra-slick shifting. The SRAM Red hydraulic disc brakes offer powerful all-weather stopping control with great modulation, so it is easy to accurately control your speed. Roval CLX 32 carbon wheels, and S-Works carbon bars, round off the spec of this revolutionary road bike.

Ride smoother and faster than you ever thought possible, with the Specialized S-Works Roubaix eTap.
