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 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 provides a tremendous value, but like the frame itself, this value doesn’t come with any compromises. We spec’d it with Shimano’s Tiagra 10-speed group for its crisp shifts and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, as well as reliable Axis Sport Disc wheels, a Praxis Alba crankset, the all-new S-Works Pavé seatpost, 28mm Espoir Sport 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 also aerodynamic, it does so without any additional weight or finicky contraptions. Starting with the same D-shape design found on the Tarmac, we took its compliance a step further by building additional flex into the upper and developing a new drop-clamp design in the frame. This provides plenty of compliance, while staying perfectly balanced with the front-end, so you get a smooth, balanced 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

2000 miles later...

This bike has been great to me. Riding in NYC can be nasty, and the Roubaix absorbs a lot for you while still being a really fast bike. My wrists and rump are very grateful for all this technology after so many years on a steel-frame 78 Schwinn. I also haven't had a flat with the Espoir Sport tires yet...keep em pumped tight!

Sleek and crisp, yet comfortable to ride

I bought the Roubaix base model this spring to replace my aging Giant road bike and I'm ready glad I bought this bike! Climbs like a mountain goat, corners well and the 20mm of travel in the head tube and the geometry make for a really comfortable ride. Whether it's descending a bumpy road, running around on gravel or just absorbing cracks in the road, the Roubaix evens them out. It's also comfortable enough for a really long ride. Brakes are snappy and precise. I live in Colorado where we have lots of climbing available and the Roubaix's gearing make them very enjoyable. Love this bike!

An awesome bike

First road bike. I am absolutely in love with this thing. Rode almost 500 miles so far with zero issues. Future shock and compliant seatpost are absolutely awesome. Great handling. Fast and effiecient. I want to put some better wheels on there but other than that the parts are all more than good enough. Absolutely worth every penny.

64 year old man in love with 2020 technology

My old bike (15Years) has been a great but was in need of too many parts replacements. After exaustive research, I decided to order the Roubaix basic. It worked out to be a little heavier than my old bike but the tecnological improvements seem to make up for the extra weight. Very smooth and responsive. The 1/1 ratio for climbing will help me reduce fatigue on those long steep climbs. EXCITED TO RIDE AGAIN!!! Many of my friends have bigger budgets but this was best valued product for me.
