The smoother, faster Roubaix SL3 features a super light and stiff FACT 10r carbon frame with our uniquely shaped, tapered head tube, In-Zertz vibration dampers and full internal cable routing—the same frame construction that won the grueling Paris-Roubaix race. The Expert features Shimano Ultegra compact drivetrain and our new DT-Axis 3.0 wheels for lower weight and higher performance.

Its smooth ride quality, advanced vibration dampening, and improved stiffness are frequently highlighted, alongside the benefits of disc brakes and carbon clinchers. However, some critiques include the finicky setup of hydraulic disc brakes and the incompatibility with legacy wheelsets.
