2017 Ruby SL4 Sport - Rim Brake

Hitting a sweet spot between performance and value, the Ruby SL4 Sport was designed to thrive on long rides where the roads are, well, less than ideal. It features a wonderful FACT 9r carbon fiber frame that's been outfitted with Shimano's durable and precise 105 components, an ultra-stiff Praxis crankset, and smooth-rolling Axis Elite wheels. Of course, you'll also benefit from our proprietary technology that's been tested and proven on the cobbles of Northern France, like our vibration absorbing Zertz inserts throughout the frame and fork and a compact race design that's specifically designed for women. So go ahead and push it to the limits—this Ruby will make sure that you don't feel the burn.

• Enjoy a comfortable and responsive ride with the lightweight Specialized FACT 9r carbon frame. Featuring Zertz to help reduce road chatter, it provides a responsive yet smooth ride with no compromise on performance.

• The agile and responsive Specialized FACT carbon, full-monocoque fork features Zertz inserts to absorb road roughness and give you a smoother ride.

• Power to the pedals is provided by the exceptional Praxis Alba alloy crankset. It's stiff and efficient, and the ramping of the chainrings ensures beautiful shifts between rings.
