The Specialized Roubaix Expert continues the legacy of a bike that created the endurance road category two decades ago. Built with a FACT 10r Rider-First Engineered carbon frame, it’s lightweight, responsive and tuned for consistent performance across all sizes. Using tube shapes from the FreeFoil library, it’s the most aerodynamic Roubaix yet, while weighing just 950g.

The star feature is Future Shock 3.0, Specialized’s innovative 20mm suspension system positioned above the head tube. It smooths rough roads by absorbing impacts before they reach the rider, keeping your bars stable, your hands in control and your speed consistent. Combined with the Pavé seatpost and rigid rear triangle, this creates AfterShock technology – a balance of compliance and efficiency for comfort without losing speed.

Equipped with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-speed groupset, the Roubaix Expert delivers smooth, precise electronic shifting and a wide 11–34T gear range. Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes provide confident, consistent stopping power in all conditions. The inclusion of Roval C38 carbon wheels, paired with 32mm Specialized Mondo TLR endurance tyres, offers a fast yet comfortable setup with tubeless compatibility for lower pressures and fewer punctures.

Practicality hasn’t been overlooked. With clearance for tyres up to 40mm, the Roubaix Expert handles everything from smooth tarmac to light gravel. It comes with mounts for three bottles, top tube storage and full fenders, making it capable of handling long-distance rides and all-weather adventures.

Every detail of the Roubaix Expert is designed to make endurance riding smoother, faster and more enjoyable. For riders who want comfort without compromise, and speed without sacrificing stability, the Roubaix Expert is a road bike that turns rough roads into endless opportunities for adventure.
