In the past I definitely would not have considered myself a Roubaix customer, but now I’d have to reconsider.

Specialized launched the Roubaix with the tagline 'smoother is faster' and I’m inclined to agree.

Check out the Specialized Roubaix that Philippe Gilbert rode to Paris-Roubaix victory in 2019

Mar 2024 · Mat Brett

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?

Gallery: Peter Sagan's non-Di2 Specialized for Paris-Roubaix

Oct 2021 · Ben Delaney

Shimano’s latest R9200 Dura-Ace group has a few options, but none of them include mechanical shifting; it’s Di2 only for Shimano’s top racing group from here on out. At Paris-Roubaix, Peter Sagan has voted with his bike that he prefers still mechanical shifting for the world’s hardest cobblestone race, thank you very much. In 2018, … Continued

Specialized Roubaix Expert long-term review

Dec 2020 · Matthew Loveridge

I wish it had mudguard mounts and it's certainly not cheap, but the Roubaix Expert is an exceptionally good bike. I’m starting to wish my other bikes had a Future Shock

Highs
  • Future Shock works beautifully and ride quality is perfectly balanced front to rear

  • Big spec

  • Lovely paint job

Lows
  • There’s no ignoring the price

  • Cable routing at the bar could be neater

  • The Future Shock adjuster is surprisingly easy to break (if you’re an idiot like me)

  • 2021 model is arguably less good value

Highs
  • Thought-through technical concept

  • Adjustable Future Shock 2.0 suspension

  • Feels secure on all terrain

Lows
  • Missing just a tiny bit of sprightliness

  • Future Shock and seat post clamp don't quite fit into the otherwise tidy picture

Review: Specialized's all-new Roubaix, a Spring Classics road bike for everyone

Apr 2019 · Veronika Benson

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 …

Specialized's new Roubaix first-ride review: Performance, soothed - CyclingTips

Apr 2019 · Dave Rome

“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 […]
