Its has been a blissful summer indeed! Sadly, I will have to put this guy on a trainer for another 6 months. After several rides in various weather conditions, this bike is still the best ride I've ever experienced. Despite its noticeable weight (upgrading the wheels would be a good idea), this is a swift, fluid and responsive machine that will also make you look good on hilly terrain. Getting used to the cassette was a challenge so considering a change to a more compact one. All in all, could not have made a better choice!

amazing bike!

Parfait pour une ride confo en tout temps et tous lieux. Doux. On aime ça.

At 67, having just entered retirement, I decided to purchase a bicycle, and that's essentially the whole story. I am thoroughly pleased with my choice of the Roubaix SL8 series and would suggest it to anyone in search of an affordable, high-quality carbon fiber road bike. I tried out several gravel bikes, but they seemed heavy and slow. However, the moment I tested the Roubaix, I was captivated by its performance from the very first pedal stroke. It provides an excellent ride, and even at my age, I appreciate the speed it offers with ease. If you're considering a road bike that's economical, do give the Roubaix series a chance.

I have always had pure thoroughbred road bikes all my life so when the time came to change my ten years old aluminum-Tiagra bike, I was also overwhelmed by all the choices and by the hybridization of traditional bike categories. Then came the Roubaix SL8 and what a pleasant surprise it was. After only a couple of rides, I knew right away I would be making one with this beautiful machine. The smoothest ride I’ve ever felt with no compromise on performance whatsoever. Just want to spend more time on it! Would recommend 100%.

As a brand new cyclist diving into the world of carbon road bikes, I was a little overwhelmed by all the choices. I knew I wanted comfort and a bike that wouldn't break the bank, and let me tell you, the Roubaix SL8 hit the sweet spot. First off, this bike is gorgeous. But the beauty goes way beyond the surface. The minute I hopped on, I was impressed by the smooth ride. The Future Shock 3.0 really is a game-changer, especially for a beginner like me. It absorbs all the bumps and road chatter, making those longer rides much more enjoyable. This bike feels perfectly comfortable and confidence-inspiring, which is exactly what I need as I build up my endurance.

This guy…mind blowing. I’m not even sure where to start. I thought my Allez was a work of art, this guy is a masterpiece. I took this guy out for his maiden voyage 12 hours after he came home. Took him to my “go to” trail…I know this trail. I wanted something that I knew because I wasn’t sure how he was going to handle…what little weird things were going to “pop up”. A mile into the ride, the weirdest thing that “popped up” was how well he handled. He handles like a masterpiece. Corners, acceleration, standing, sitting, stopping, doing tiny little figure 8’s at slow speeds, this guy floats on air. Truly “Heaven Above”. This will be my last bike – I think. IF I do ever buy a new bike, which is doubtful – it will be another Roubaix…there will be no other bikes for me.
