Roubaix SL8 S-Works LTD New Sram Red AXS Specialized 2025 Satin Glacial Metallic/Gloss Black Pearl

We created the Gran Fondo road category two decades ago, proving that high ergonomics means high performance.

Today, the new Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster, and more comfortable than any road bike ever made, unleashing unmatched confidence. The road may be hell, but it’s always paradise on a Roubaix.

Now, the world’s most comfortable Gran Fondo bike is available in a beautiful and limited Glacial Metallic color with the new SRAM RED AXS group, custom Roval graphics, silver details, and the new Hammerhead Karoo 3 cycling computer. With only 100 units worldwide, each individually numbered, they will sell out faster than a Future Shock eating up bumps. Don’t wait.

COMFORT:

• The Future Shock 3.0 is the star of the show, more adjustable and durable than ever. Now, regardless of the position on the bike, every rider experiences 20 mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and the head tube. Future Shock helps keep hands and handlebars steady for a smoother ride with more control, allowing for fast, safe, and confident riding.

• Our design with the lower seatpost clamp exposes more seatpost to increase flex, but “more” isn’t simply better. The Pavé seatpost controls that flex for optimal vertical comfort. Together they create AfterShock technology, and when combined with the Roubaix’s stiff rear triangle, provide a smooth ride without loss of efficiency.

• The Roubaix SL8 is the most comfortable road bike our Ride Science team has ever tested, reducing impacts to the handlebars and saddle by 53% compared to the closest competition. With Roubaix’s Future Shock 3.0, the wheel quickly rolls over bumps while the rider’s mass remains stable, maintaining momentum on rough terrain. Traditional forks flex backward on impact, causing a measurable loss of speed. It’s a scientific fact: more comfort means more speed.

CAPABILITY:

• The Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, so you ride “IN” the bike, not “ON” the bike to relieve pressure on the hands, arms, and shoulders for confidence on any road, and it’s ready to tackle a mountain descent at full speed. Get ready!

• With tire clearance up to 38c/40mm, this Gran Fondo road machine offers better traction than ever on rough roads and even light gravel. Thanks to its lightweight and efficiency, Specialized tires provide extra volume and greater traction without compromising performance.

• The Roubaix inspires us to plan really BIG days on the bike, so we’ve given it all the mounts your adventures might need: three bottle cage mounts, top tube mounts, and it’s even fender-ready. So, go ahead, bring it all with you.

PERFORMANCE:

• The new Roubaix SL8 is the most aerodynamic to date, with new aero shapes derived from our Free Foil library and dropped seatstays. At just 825 grams, the frame is 50 grams lighter thanks to lessons learned from the Aethos—the world’s lightest production frame—and our top-tier Fact 12r carbon fiber. Nothing in its category is faster or lighter than the Roubaix.
