Specialized Roubaix Comp Udi2 2020 Carbon Road Bike Satin Grey

Developing the tried-and-tested tech of previous models, the 2020 Roubaix blurs the lines between 'stiff and snappy' and 'compliant and comfortable' even further. Taking its namesake from one of the toughest races on the cycling calender, the Roubaix was designed to take on anything from cobbled streets to poorly maintained roads thanks to its Future Shock tech and Pave seatpost.  Super Light Carbon The Roubaix Comp is constructed of FACT 10r Carbon with Rider First Engineered technology. The carbon frame strikes the perfect balance of compliance, aerodynamics and light weight. Previous models were light, yet Specialized have somehow shaved another 175g off the weight. The incredible stiffness of the frame gives you that extra edge on the sprints, whilst the Rider First Engineered design ensures that the stiffness remains at optimal level across the size range. Aerodynamics The Roubaix's tubes were created in Specialized's FreeFoil Shape Library and put through their paces in their own Win Tunnel testing facility, the result being a bike as aero as the Tarmac SL6. The Pave seatpost provides the same compliance that Roubaix's are renowned for with added aero elements and no increase in weight. Give yourself the edge without sacraficing on comfort. Ultegra Di2 The Roubaix Comp is laden with 'pro-proven' componentry; Shimano's Ultegra Di2 groupset benefits from direct trickle down from their flagship Dura Ace Di2 groupset. You're guaranteed smooth and accurate shifting with minimal effort, as well as looking great and only a marginal increase in weight-a small price to pay for a far more palatable price. The Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes will still offer you extremely powerful yet modulated stopping power, meaning you can pedal more and brake less.  Future Shock 1.5 The 1.5 Non Damped Shock found on the Comp retains the 20mm of travel found on previous models, and has been redesigned with a new progressive spring, ensuring that you stay comfortable and in firm control.
