Summary
The Specialized Roubaix is celebrated for its exceptional comfort and innovative Future Shock suspension, making it a standout in the endurance category. It offers a balanced ride quality, blending speed with comfort, though some reviews note it lacks the aggressive edge of pure race bikes. While praised for its frame quality and versatility, criticisms include its price and some component choices.
Exceptional comfort with Future Shock suspension
Balanced ride quality blending speed and comfort
High-quality frame and versatile performance
Higher price point compared to rivals
Some component choices not meeting expectations
Lacks the aggressive edge of pure race bikes
It’s more Rolls Royce than Lamborghini in terms of performance.
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.

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?

REVAMPED AND STILL A WINNER

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

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
Future Shock works beautifully and ride quality is perfectly balanced front to rear
Big spec
Lovely paint job
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

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

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 […]
