We created the endurance road category two decades ago providing that high ergonomics means high performance. Today the new Roubalix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster, and smoother than any road bike ever made, unleashing unmatched confidence.
The road may be hell below, but on Roubaix, it's always heaven above.
HELL IS HEREBY OFFICIALLY CONQUERED
By sourcing cutting-edge, Silicon Valley technology, we’ve engineered a bike that’s lighter than our Venge and more aero than our Tarmac. The All-New Roubaix. The most technically advanced machine we’ve ever made.

The Smoothest road bike ever made
As you ride rough roads, our all-new Future Shock 3.0 up front, and AfterShock technology in the rear, reduce impacts by 53% vs. the nearest competition. You'll be confidently and comfortably floating above the chaos - smooth, in control, with less fatigue - while your bike remains nimble and laterally rigid for power transfer and precise handling.
SEVEN WINS AT PARIS-ROUBAIX
Our concept of “Smoother is Faster” began with our FSR suspension, and through the Roubaix, we quickly applied it to the road. 15 years and 6 Paris-Roubaix wins later, that concept’s spiraled into a complete obsession for designing the fastest machine on the cobbles, with each iteration bringing more speed, control, and capability. And the new Roubaix is our fastest and most capable yet, for everything from the Hell of the North’s cobbles to your hometown favorites.
FUTURE SHOCK 3.0 - YEAH IT WORKS
MORE SPEED. MORE CONTROL. MORE SAFETY.
Future Shock 3.0 is the star of the show, more tunable, adjustable, and durable than ever. Now, regardless of position on the bike, every rider experiences 20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube. Future Shock helps keep your hands and bars steady for a smoother ride with more control to stay fast, safe, and confident.
Pave post and dropped clamp
aftershock technology
Our dropped clamp design exposes more seatpost to increase deflection, but "more" isn't simply better. The Pave seatpost controls that deflection for the optimal vertical compliance. Together they create AfterShock technology, and when paired with the Roubaix's rigid rear triangle, deliver a smooth ride with no loss in efficiency.
MORE SPEED. MORE CONTROL. MORE SAFETY.
The all-new Future Shock 2.0 delivers 20mm of axial compliance via a hydraulic damper that suspends you, not the bike. This new system uses an oil port to simultaneously control the compression and rebound damping, while an easy-to-access dial above the stem enables you to make on-the-fly damping adjustments.
RIDE SCIENCE TEAM
SMOOTH OPERATORS
The Roubaix SL8 is the smoothest road bike our Ride Science Team has ever tested - reducing impacts at the bars and saddle by 53% vs. the nearest competition. With Roubaix's Future Shock 3.0 the wheel quickly moves over the bump, while rider mass remains stable, helping maintain momentum and safety in rough terrain. Typical forks deflect backward on impact, causing a measurable loss in speed. It's a scientific fact, smoother is indeed faster.
"It's all about creating a smooth ride while preserving that out of the saddle 'snap,' the traditional road bike feel, and keeping the wheels connected to the ground."
- CHRIS D'ALUISIO. ROUBAIX CONCEPT ENGINEER
PIONEERING ENDURANCE GEOMETRY
THOUSANDS HAVE ALREADY RIDDEN YOUR BIKE
We pioneered endurance geometry decades ago and data from thousands of Retul fits has honed the Roubaix ever since, so you ride "IN" the bike, not "ON" the bike. Roubaix's geometry relieves pressure on your hands, arms, and shoulders for capability and confidence on any road, yet it's ready to dissect a mountain decent at full gas.
MAKING YOUR BEST RIDE BETTER
MORE TIRE CLEARANCE EQUALS MORE CONFIDENCE
Yeah, it crushes long miles, smoother and faster than ever before, but with tire clearnace up to 38c/ 40mm, this endurance road machine delivers better traction than ever on rough roads and even light gravel. Thanks to lightweight, super-efficient Specialized tires, that extra tire volume and traction comes with no downsides.

THE BEST TIRES IN THE WORLD
YOUR RIDE DEPENDS ON THIS
There is no more important square inch than your tire's contact patch. That's why we've been leading the shift to higher volume tires for efficiency, handling, and traction for decades. Our tires are the best in the world and the Roubaix SL8 is the perfect partner to the S-Works Mondo tires we spec but is equally at home with a 28mm Turbo clincher or 38mm Pathfinder.
THE LIGHTEST, MOST AERO ROUBAIX EVER
PUTTING THE "FAST" IN SMOOTHER IS FASTER
The new Roubaix SL8 is our most aero yet, with new aero shpaes from our Free Foil library and dropped seat stays. At just 825 grams, the frame is 50 grams lighter, Rider First Engineered and utilizing lessons learned from the Aethos - the world's lightest production frame - and our premium Fact 12r carbon blend. Nothing in its class is faster or lighter than the Roubaix.

Beyond Gender
There can be more difference between two male cyclists than between a male and female.Gender alone doesn't provide nearly enough data to specialize and that means creating male or female bikes is aritrary and outdated. Every rider can get the next level advantage of Roubaix SL8. It's time to go Beyond Gender.
A 'HeLL' OF A PEDIGREE
Made in Racing
No other bike has been as dominant at Paris-Roubaix s the Roubaix. With seven wins to date, we've used the Hell of the North's vicious cobbles as the ultimate testing ground. Just like the Tarmac SL8, everything we learn at the races has been poured into the Roubaix SL8. Whether you race your Roubaix on cobblestones or ride through potholes, our Made in Racing philosophy makes every ride better.
THE CREATORS
20 YEARS OF
SMOOTHER IS FASTER
Over 20 years ago, when Specialized Designer, Rodney Hines, imagined a road bike that would eat up long miles and smooth out rough roads. Significant innovation has driven its evolution over the years, but the goal has always been the same - Smoother is Faster.
"Your option in the late '90s was a very stiff, steep angle, super-short chainstay race bike, and that didn't work becasue you couldn't fit real-world tires. It was harsh. It wasn't the right bike for many hours in the saddle. So, we made the Roubaix"
