Specialized Roubaix SL4 2016 - Road Bike
As it’s name suggests the Specialized Roubaix SL4 is built for long distance rides over rough road surfaces. Endurance geometry and vibration damping features allow you to ride further for longer.
Carbon frame and fork
When a bike is named after one of the most grueling one day races on the pro cycling calendar you will want to be sure of it’s pedigree. Key to the Roubaix SL4’s performance is the FACT 8r carbon frame which is descended from a long line of Paris-Roubaix winners, so you know that it will go the distance.
This is the same frame that you will find on the Sport, Elite and Comp models.
The FACT carbon fork features a tapered steerer tube which creates a naturally stiffer junction at the head tube for increased steering response and a more confident ride.
Vibration damping
As well as the natural vibration absorbing properties of carbon, rider comfort is further enhanced by Zertz vibration damping inserts. Incorporated into the fork blades and seatstays these viscoelastic dampers soak up the road vibrations that travel up through the frame before they travel through your body. This reduces fatigue so that you remain fresher for longer.
10 speed Shimano drivetrain
The Shimano Tiagra 10 speed drivetrain features a compact double chainset and wide range cassette. This provides a broad selection of gears so that you will be able to take on all the varying gradients on your route. Tiagra has had a makeover for 2016 and the levers now feature hidden cables and redesigned hoods which offer better support for your hands.
Quality Axis 1.0 wheels are shod with 25mm tyres with puncture protection.. just what you need on long rides over rough roads.
Rounding off the endurance features are shallow drop bars with gel pads under the bar tape and a Specialized CG-R FACT carbon seatpost that has vertical compliance engineered in.
Whether you are racing, commuting or just riding for fun and fitness the Specialized Roubaix is an endurance road bike that is ideal for eating up the miles efficiently.
