  • Seatpost flex makes long rides a breeze

  • Race levels of stiffness and power transfer

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 S-Works Roubaix review

Jun 2020 · Stu Bowers

The 2020 Specialized S-Works Roubaix is as comfortable as previous generations while matching the speed of the Tarmac SL6

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • To buy an S-Works means nearly £10k

  • But cost is subjective

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

  • Ultegra Di2 groupset is faultless in use

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

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

Apr 2019

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 …
