The Roubaix is versatile with a smooth ride and swift handling, but it's very much an all-road bike rather than a pure road bike

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
To buy an S-Works means nearly £10k
But cost is subjective
