“Everything is better. It's faster, and it absorbs the vibrations of the cobblestones.”

—Tom Boonen - Team Omega Pharma - Quick-Step,

The smoother, faster Roubaix—named after the gruelling Paris-Roubaix race it has won four times—is a high-performance, endurance-focused bike that's highly stable and efficient. The Elite C2 features Shimano 105 compact gearing and our new DT-Axis 2.0 wheels for lower weight and higher performance.

FACT 8r carbon, FACT IS constructed frame with Endurance Road geometry, Zertz and tapered head tube for the perfect blend of stiffness, compliance and light weight
Espoir Elite 25c tyres with BlackBelt puncture protection allows for smooth, fast, and confident ride
Adjustable four-position oversized alloy stem with 31.8mm bar clamp for strength and versatile positioning
Shallow drop alloy handlebar for easy access to levers and more comfortable hand positions; wrapped with non-slip Specialized Roubaix tape for vibration-damping performance
Minimalist, high-performance BodyGeometry Toupe RBX Sport saddle with steel rails, flat profile and generous padding; partnered with FACT carbon Comp seatpost helps absorb road vibrations
Specialized FACT full carbon monocoque fork with Zertz inserts is stiff, responsive, and smooth
Smooth, precise Shimano 105 STI shifters are renowned for their race-ready performance and exceptional value
