Specialized is on a roll with its sponsored athletes and not-yet-released bikes. Christoph Sauser just won the world mountain bike championships on a new Epic, which will be formally introduced next week and available later this year. But the bike that’s here now is the Roubaix SL2, the bike Tom Boonen won Paris-Roubaix on this spring, well before it was available for sale.

Let's face it, we aren't all Cat III racers with 18-year-old backs, legs and fitness levels. It's just a fact that, at some point, everyone will need to accept (we are still working on it). While most riders believe that the perfect bike is a short-coupled, ultra-rigid sprinter, truth be told, a fast, comfortable bike that will perform well in all conditions is what we actually need. Meet the 2008 Specialized S-Works Roubaix SL.
