Specialized Ruby Expert Womens 2017 - Road Bike

The Specialized Ruby Expert is a women’s specific endurance road bike that offers a fast and efficient ride on every road. With predictable handling and unparalleled compliance this is a bike that is ideal for sportives as well as any cycling over less than perfect road surfaces.

Smoother is faster. The new Specialized Ruby features revolutionary compliance technology developed in partnership with McLaren. The Future Shock is a piston in the head tube that offers 20mm of suspension travel to reduce fatigue over rough terrain and allowing you to ride faster. Positioned above the head tube, the Future Shock offers vertical compliance while the wheels are still rigidly held together by the frame. This means that, unlike traditional suspension systems or forks that offer fore/aft deflection, the wheelbase remains constant, so you get extremely predictable handling combined with a smooth ride. In addition to this the seatpost offers 20mm of rearward arc compliance for comfort in the saddle that maintains frame stiffness and geometry.

The Fact 10r carbon fibre composite frame is the lightest that Specialized have ever made and is combined with the Ruby disc fork, built from top of the line FACT 11r carbon, with a 12mm thru-axle, for supreme stiffness. Endurance geometry offers a slightly more upright riding position that is ideal for long rides over challenging terrain while Ride-First Engineering ensures that you get the same great ride experience in every frame size. You also get a removable SWAT storage box that allows you to store your ride essentials low down on the frame.

The full Shimano Ultegra 2x11 speed drivetrain offers slick shifting. With a wide range cassette and compact chainset to give you all the gears you need for taking on varied terrain. The Shimano BR-805 hydraulic disc brakes offer unparalleled stopping power so you can ride with confidence in all weather conditions. DT R460 Pro disc wheels are tough yet lightweight.

Cycle further and faster with less fatigue and more confidence on the Specialized Ruby Expert.
