2022 Roubaix Expert

Seitsemällä Paris-Roubaix-voitolla Roubaix on osoittanut, että tasaisempi on nopeampi. Tähän hetkeen saakka tasaisuuteen on tosin tullut joitakin kompromisseja. Mutta ei enää. Täysin uusi Roubaix Expert tarjoaa nyt mukautuvuuden ilman kompromisseja esittelemällä uuden Future Shock 2.0:n, joka antaa sinulle enemmän hallinta- ja vaimennusvaihtoehtoja ja uuden Pavé-satulatolpan, joka luo tähän mennessä tasapainoisimman Roubaiximme. Aerodynamiikka vastaa Tarmacia ja Rider First Engineered™ -runko on pudottanut rutkasti painoa. Onko se silti mukava ajettava? Toki, vaikka suorituskyky onkin ollut jokaisen tekemämme suunnittelupäätöksen takana. Tämä on uusi Roubaix.

Expertin kokoonpanoa täydentää Shimano Ultegra Di2 sen tehokkailla hydraulisilla levyjarruilla ja erittäin tarkalla 11-vaihteen vaihteistolla, sekä erittäin luotettava Roval C38 -vannesetti.

• 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 is more aero than 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.

• The Future Shock 2.0 is the result of our pro riders’ demands for the cobbles of Roubaix. It’s smoother, faster, and gives you more control via a knob atop the stem. This knob adjusts compression from fully-open to stiff, while hydraulically-damped internals control rebound. Add it up, and this latest version will reduce fatigue and increase your speed, no matter the terrain. The new Smooth Boot, top cap, and Future Stem also enhance the aesthetic, so you get a clean transition from head tube to stem.
