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.

Pros
  • Smooth ride over rough terrain

  • Future Shock suspension system for comfort

  • Lightweight and aerodynamic frame

  • Versatile for various weather conditions and terrains

  • Improved handling and efficiency

Cons
  • Rear end can feel harsh

  • Future Shock system may lack damping for aggressive riding

  • Some models are pricey compared to rivals

  • Not the most puncture-resistant tires

Key Quotes
Specialized had met its goal of crafting a bike that tames the road, offers up grand control, and will possibly give Specialized-sponsored riders another shot at glory while delivering a safer, more secure ride to consumers.

The bike simply felt fast on the first cobblestone section, smoothly flying over the pavé at speed.

Specialized Roubaix Comp Ultegra Di2 2020

Feb 2020 · Stu Kerton

Fast, sweet-handling bike with great comfort levels, but I'd like some control over the spring rate

Highs
  • Handling unaffected by rough roads at speed

Lows
  • No lockout on Future Shock, which means it bounces under hard efforts
