2020 S-Works Roubaix

Got hit head on by a drunk on a moped 1 1/2 years ago, 2 broken legs and long recovery and I'm still in rehab. Anything I can do to be safer and more stable on the bike I'm looking for. This bike is amazing, I find myself going over and through obstacles on this bike just for fun, and it's still super fast. I've raced for years and been on a lot of bikes it just amazes me where technology has taken us and riding 100 miles on this bike is pure joy. I'll be taking it to Belgium this year for the classics! Rock on!

I have always been a Tarmac guy...having owned the last three models. I owned a Roubaix years ago, comfortable but soft and relaxed. However, I've been hearing a lot lately from other riders about the new Roubaix. These are strong riders so I valued their comments. I finally took the plunge and purchased a new 2020 S-Works Roubaix. I'm thrilled with it. It has almost all of the ""punch"" that I love about the Tarmac but really descends well. It goes downhill like it is on rails...much better than a Tarmac. The Future Shock does a great job smoothing out the road surface but otherwise you are unaware of it. I like the ability to run wider tires. I also like the SRAM AXS drivetrain...and am still playing with the shifting options to see which I prefer. I already loved the Power saddle and was glad it came standard on the bike. The bike is quiet...no noise from the Future Shock and the wireless drivetrain means there are no shifter cables or wires rattling inside the frame. At first I wasn't sure of the cosmetics...the raw carbon with a very thin black tint coat on top...you see all the imperfections of the carbon. However, I receive many compliments on the bike...it's unique...and looks black from 3 feet away. I now really like it. I encourage you to arrange a test ride...in 10 pedal strokes you'll be impressed. This is a great bike.

I've had three Roubaix S-Works. This is by far the best, although they are/were all terrific. The ride is smooth, the shifting is quick and intuitive. The future shock just plain works, and the new seat post design and functionality is truly amazing. I rode it on a familiar route for a two hour ride to compare it with my current bike. It excelled at everything whether on the flats, climbs or descents. I was doubtful about the gearing, 46/33 with a 10/33, and even considered other options before I bought it or to upgrade later. After an hour I was a total convert. Just think smooth. The components synced immediately with my Garmin 520 Plus, the initial software update was fast and trouble free, and the Sram App is easy to use and far superior to Shimano's app for the Di2, which I could never master. This Roubaix simply beckons me to ride it.

Coming from riding a Venge, I was a bit hesitant on how the Roubaix would perform, and tested it for the first time during the Belgian Waffle Ride. I was impressed by how responsive the bike felt, and how much the Future Shock helped mute any chatter on the off-road sectors. Nothing was lost on the road as the bike proved equally responsive on the climbs. The SRAM Red AXS gruppo covers all the bases, and truly turns this machine into the most versatile bike I've ever thrown a leg over.

I have 2018 S-Works Roubaix eTAP and totally loved the Future Shock and overall performance of the bike. After reading the specs and reviews of the new 2020 S-Works Roubaix eTAP AXS, I decided to buy it. And it has exceeded my expectations in every way. First, Future Shock 2.0 with dampening and on-the-fly dial adjusting dramatically improves shock absorbing over the original spring-only Future Shock. It instantly feels smoother and more comfortable. The entire SRAM eTAP AXS 12-speed setup is a mechanical work of art. The new gearing is smooth, quiet and fast. The Pave seat post and Power saddle are surprising improvement to the CG-R and Phenom. The new S-Works Roubaix frame design is a thing of stealthy beauty. At 69, comfort, performance and speed are essential. The new S-Works Roubaix eTAP AXS delivers in the most extraordinary way.
