Summary
The Specialized Roubaix is celebrated for its exceptional comfort and innovative Future Shock suspension, which effectively smooths out rough roads, making it a standout in the endurance category. While it offers a balanced ride quality and impressive handling, some reviews note its higher price point and the lack of certain adjustments in the Future Shock system as drawbacks. Comparisons often highlight its relation to the Specialized Tarmac, with the Roubaix being the more comfort-oriented option.
Exceptional comfort with Future Shock suspension
Balanced ride quality and impressive handling
Innovative design with Rider First Engineering
High-quality frameset across all models
Versatile for various riding conditions
Higher price point compared to rivals
Future Shock system lacks some adjustments
Heavier wheels may affect speed
Some models lack tubeless-ready tyres
It’s more Rolls Royce than Lamborghini in terms of performance.
Cycling WeeklyIn the past I definitely would not have considered myself a Roubaix customer, but now I’d have to reconsider.
CyclistSpecialized launched the Roubaix with the tagline 'smoother is faster' and I’m inclined to agree.

A lack of mudguard mounts holds it back from being the ultimate ‘real world’ road bike
The Future Shock is genuinely brilliant
Seatpost flex makes long rides a breeze
Race levels of stiffness and power transfer
No mudguard mounts
Difficult to work on
Expensive

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

I wish it had mudguard mounts and it's certainly not cheap, but the Roubaix Expert is an exceptionally good bike. I’m starting to wish my other bikes had a Future Shock
Future Shock works beautifully and ride quality is perfectly balanced front to rear
Big spec
Lovely paint job
There’s no ignoring the price
Cable routing at the bar could be neater
The Future Shock adjuster is surprisingly easy to break (if you’re an idiot like me)
2021 model is arguably less good value

The Specialized S-Works Roubaix SRAM RED eTap AXS endurance bike on test against 12 competitors. Can maximum comfort and speed be combined?
Thought-through technical concept
Adjustable Future Shock 2.0 suspension
Feels secure on all terrain
Missing just a tiny bit of sprightliness
Future Shock and seat post clamp don't quite fit into the otherwise tidy picture

The latest Roubaix has more versatility with a promise of better performance. Does it deliver?
Ride performance
Frame quality
Future shock does a good job of smoothing out the road
Heavy wheels suck away potential speed
Feb 2020 · Stu Kerton
Fast, sweet-handling bike with great comfort levels, but I'd like some control over the spring rate
Handling unaffected by rough roads at speed
Ultegra Di2 groupset is faultless in use
No lockout on Future Shock, which means it bounces under hard efforts

At the peak of the Spring Classics, we had the chance to put Specialized’s all-new Future Shock 2.0 front suspension Roubaix endurance road bike to a true test on the bergs, pavé & wind swept roads that define those iconic one-day races. While the Roubaix certainly proved its mettle with Phillipe Gilbert winning Paris-Roubaix on …
