Summary
The Specialized Roubaix is celebrated for its exceptional comfort and smooth ride over rough terrain, thanks to its Future Shock suspension system and flexible seatpost. It's designed for endurance, offering a balance between speed and comfort, with a lightweight frame and aerodynamic efficiency. However, some reviews note the rear end can feel harsh, and the Future Shock system may lack damping for aggressive riding styles.

Brand new at the time, this version of the Roubaix endurance bike came with Future Shock 2.0 suspension to take the sting out of the cobbles, but why was there an Allen key taped to the seatpost?

The 2020 Specialized S-Works Roubaix is as comfortable as previous generations while matching the speed of the Tarmac SL6
Nipping at the Tarmac's heel in terms of performance
But with much greater comfort and increased versatility at the turn of a dial
Impressively light
Fantastic control
To buy an S-Works means nearly £10k
But cost is subjective

The Specialized S-Works Roubaix SRAM RED eTap AXS endurance bike on test against 12 competitors. Can maximum comfort and speed be combined?
Thought-through technical concept
Adjustable Future Shock 2.0 suspension
Feels secure on all terrain
Missing just a tiny bit of sprightliness
Future Shock and seat post clamp don't quite fit into the otherwise tidy picture

The 2019 Specialized S-Works Roubaix has a new look, a new direction and a faster ride, is it better?
Fast ride
Relatively comfortable up front
Capable on multi terrain
Rear end is harsh

Future Shock works on an axial path: up and down like a telescopic mountain bike fork.. .
Class-leading compliance and superb handling
Pricey compared to its rivals

At the peak of the Spring Classics, we had the chance to put Specialized’s all-new Future Shock 2.0 front suspension Roubaix endurance road bike to a true test on the bergs, pavé & wind swept roads that define those iconic one-day races. While the Roubaix certainly proved its mettle with Phillipe Gilbert winning Paris-Roubaix on …

“Lighter than our Venge and more aero than our Tarmac.” That’s an attractive statement for anyone seeking a new race bike. In this case, it applies to Specialized’s all-new Roubaix, the company’s long-standing endurance platform. Announced just in time for its namesake race, the new Roubaix retains and improves on a number of the platform’s […]
