View ComparisonSummary
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.
