Algupära
Nime saanud karmi Pariis-Roubaixi munakivisillutise klassiku järgi, oli Roubaix esimene, kes tõi turule vastupidavusele orienteeritud maanteeratta kategooria. 2017. aastal kasutusele võetud vedruga Future Shock 3.0 muutis esiosa mugavust revolutsiooniliselt, võimaldades sõitjal endal, mitte rattal, põrutusi neelata. Põlvkond 8 (2023–praeguseni): Roubaix SL8 tuli turule: Future Shock 3.0, 40 mm rehvivaba ruum, kergem raam.

Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- FACT 10r carbon (Sport/Comp/Expert/Pro) or FACT 12r carbon (S-Works); SL8 frame ~950 g (uses Aethos construction lessons)
- Kahvel
- FACT carbon, full-carbon steerer; Future Shock 3.0 cartridge above head tube — 20 mm sprung travel between stem and head tube (tunable: firm/medium/soft spring + up to 5 preload spacers)
- Jõuülekanne
- Shimano 105 mech 12-spd (Sport) up to SRAM RED AXS / Dura-Ace Di2 12-spd (S-Works)
- Pidurid
- Hydraulic disc — Shimano or SRAM by trim, 160 mm rotors
- Rattad
- 700c — DT Swiss G540 / Roval Terra / Roval Alpinist by trim (stock wheels criticised at Comp level)
- Rehvid
- Specialized S-Works Mondo, 700×32c stock; frame clears up to 38c/40mm for light gravel
- Rooliplokk
- Specialized Hover alloy bars (extra rise) with separate stem; carbon bars only on top S-Works build — alloy bar criticised at higher trims
- Sadul
- Body Geometry Power saddle on D-shaped Pavé seatpost (dropped clamp seated 65 mm inside seat tube for vertical compliance)
- Geomeetria
- Endurance geometry — tall stack (~630 mm on 58cm), 397 mm reach, ~73° head angle, 73.5° seat angle; front end raised 10 mm vs SL7 for Future Shock; 'ride in the bike, not on the bike'
- Kaal
- ~7.3 kg (56cm S-Works, claimed); lower-tier 105 builds approach ~10 kg

Verdikt
+Tugevused
- Class-leading bump compliance — Future Shock 3.0 + Pavé seatpost cut impacts at bars and saddle by a claimed ~53% vs nearest rival
- SL8 is far lighter (~950 g frame, ~7.3 kg S-Works) and more aero than previous generations, no longer a comfort-only compromise
- Big 40mm tire clearance plus 3 bottle/top-tube/fender mounts make it genuinely versatile across endurance, light gravel and bikepacking
- Tunable Future Shock (3 springs + up to 5 preload spacers) lets the front end be dialed to rider weight and taste
- Proven racing pedigree — Paris-Roubaix winner, endurance-bike-of-the-year contender at multiple outlets
−Nõrkused
- Future Shock is not optional — riders who dislike the sprung front end or its rubber-boot look cannot remove it
- Future Shock cartridge must be replaced (not simply rebuilt) when worn, an expensive recurring maintenance cost
- Poor value at lower trims — mediocre stock wheels and an alloy handlebar even on pricier builds where rivals fit carbon
- On smooth tarmac the plush front can feel unbalanced against the stiffer rear, and entry 105 builds push ~10 kg
- Despite 40mm clearance it is not a true gravel bike — on rougher gravel the 32mm Mondo tires and road geometry run out of grip
