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

  • Impressively light

  • Fantastic control

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

  • But cost is subjective

Specialized S-Works Roubaix SRAM RED eTap AXS in review

Apr 2020 · Benjamin Topf

The Specialized S-Works Roubaix SRAM RED eTap AXS endurance bike on test against 12 competitors. Can maximum comfort and speed be combined?

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
