The Specialized Roubaix is celebrated for its smooth, comfortable ride and versatile performance, particularly on rough surfaces, thanks to its Future Shock suspension system. It's lighter and more aero than previous models, with increased tire clearance and tunable suspension for any rider weight. However, some reviews note a firmer rear end and better value available elsewhere, making the sentiment mixed.
Smooth, comfortable ride position
Upgraded to Future Shock 3.0 for smoother ride
Lighter and more aero than previous models
Increased tire clearance up to 38-40mm
Tunable suspension for any rider weight
Ride can feel unbalanced
Higher price range, up to $14,000 for S-Works model
Firmer rear end splits the bike into two halves
Better value available elsewhere
Not a gravel bike, limited tire clearance for some gravel races
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
BikeRadarThe new Roubaix promises a heavenly ride when it’s hell on the ground.
BikerumorThe smoothest road bike in the world they claim.
Cycling NewsThe Specialized Roubaix Comp rides like on a bed of clouds.

May 2024 · James Huang
The latest iteration of Specialized’s endurance road bike, updated with a more refined suspension cartridge and lighter-weight chassis.
The new Future Shock 3.3 cartridge finally performs the way it should
Wonderfully light and efficient-feeling frame
Excellent tire clearance
Generous mounting options
No-compromise build kit
No headset cable routing
Still compatible with mechanical drivetrains.
Ride quality can still be imbalanced front-to-rear
Goofy headset adjustment procedure
Sky-high stack height
Not exactly the prettiest thing.

The upgraded Specialized Roubaix SL8 is new but far from all-new.

Future Shock 3.0 makes its debut
Smooth ride
Ability to customise compliance
Composed but sharp handling
Possibly too many damping choices
Sep 2023 · Tom Wieckowski
The Roubaix platform has received further refinement and the Future Shock in particular feels better than ever
The Future Shock 3.0 feels plusher and is more adjustable
Stiff, performance-focused frame and ride feel
Power meter chainset as standard
Some riders may desire a lower front-end

Specialized patent gives glimpse of more vertically compliant Classics road bike with improved tire clearance... next-gen Roubaix, perhaps?

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

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