Take chopped up road surfaces in your stride while enjoying the unadulterated speed of a performance road bike like this Specialized Roubaix Sport 105 Disc. The FACT 10r frameset makes this, first and foremost, a performance focussed road bike. It's a lightweight material formed into FreeFoil tube shapes for improved aerodynamics, while the stiffness delivers your power to the wheels superbly. Between the rider and the bike, Specialized has placed their Future Shock 1.5 front suspension unit as well as an S-Works Pave seatpost for cross-bike compliance. Let your adventurous side free on a Roubaix and enjoy proving Specialized's 'Smoother is Faster' slogan to your riding buddies.
With six wins at Paris-Roubaix, our Roubaix has proven that Smoother is Faster. Until this moment, however, smooth has admittedly come with some compromises. But not anymore. The all-new Roubaix Sport now delivers compliance without compromise by introducing a radical new Future Shock 1.5 that gives you more control on rough roads, a new Pavé seatpost that creates our most balanced Roubaix to date, aerodynamics that equal the Tarmac, and a Rider-First Engineered™ frame that's shed some serious weight. Is it still comfortable? Sure, but don't call it a comfort bike, because performance was behind every engineering decision we made. This is the new Roubaix.
This Roubaix Sport provides a tremendous value, but like the frame itself, this value doesn't come with any compromises. We spec'd it with Shimano's 105 11-speed groupset for its crisp shifts and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, as well as smooth and sturdy DT R470 Disc wheels, the all-new S-Works Pavé seatpost, 28mm Turbo Pro tires, and our fan-favorite Power Sport saddle.

The new frame delivers compliance without compromise via the perfect balance of aerodynamics, light overall weight via a FACT 10r carbon construction, compliance, and Rider-First Engineering™. With tube shapes that were born in our FreeFoil Shape Library and validated in the Win Tunnel, the new Roubaix’s as aero as the Tarmac SL6. Meanwhile, to ensure the weight and ride quality, we turned to a Rider-First Engineered™ design to deliver optimal stiffness and compliance across all sizes, from 44 to 64cm. Of course, the frame has shed some serious weight in the process. And to prep you for your own Hell of the North, we’ve made room for 33mm tires.

To go along with the new frame, we’ve also developed a totally-new S-Works Pavé seatpost. Not only is it the first compliant seatpost that’s aerodynamic, it does so without any additional weight or contraptions. Starting with the same d-shape design found in the Tarmac, we took its compliance a step further, building additional flex into the upper and developing a new drop-clamp design in the frame. In the end, it provides plenty of compliance, while staying perfectly balanced with the front end, delivering a sublime, smooth ride no matter how rough the road.

With 20mm of rough-road-taming travel, the Future Shock 1.5 not only delivers a smoother, more comfortable ride, but it also reduces fatigue and increases speed over harsh terrain. The new Smooth Boot, meanwhile, enhances the aesthetics to bring a clean transition from the head tube to the stem
