I wrote just after I got the bike, now with 1300 miles on it, I am still loving the ride. Am noticing the Future Shock 2, it does not take out the hard hits from holes, but lots of the small vibrations. Am loving the shifters more, but feel at times that with 11 in the rear, this could have been built as a 1X. In bright sun, the ruby color is spectacular! Just added a Garmin Edge 840 - the SRAM shifters are recognized by it, which is good as I have trouble remembering/seeing (bifocals) which chain ring I am on - now it is on a screen where I can see it.

I got the Specialized Roubaix Comp - Rival , the SRAM etap is super smooth for switching gears, the ride is comfortable and smooth on the roads, also when they are already took a lot of beating or headstone made... There is a reason why Christoph STARSSER, 6 time Race across America (RAM) Winner and Winner of the Trans Continental Race in 2022 trusts in the S-Works Roubaix. Made to sit on it for a long time and it is really great on the body. With the words of Wolfgang FASCHING, when choosing your bike for longer distance comfort is key, everything else is just hard! The Specialized Roubaix earned that name and keeps improving it to create the ultimate combination of speed, weight and comfort.

Love riding this bike. Light and fast, and really smooth ride on rough pavement and gravel. The shifting is great.

Sharp color. Smooth and comfortable ride…easy on the back. My second Roubaix. Love this bike!

Ride fast and comfortably for a long time. That's it. This bike is sleek, comfortable, and I still feel way quicker in it than I have on others that I've ridden. It's the absolute perfect fit for me and I would recommend this model to anyone.

Picked it up yesterday to replace a 2009 Allez Elite. Initial impressions: 1) the ruby red color is brighter on the website. Hope it looks better it bright sunlight. 2) Bought the bike for Future Shock 2.0 (I have bad hand arthritis). So far, have not really noticed it. 3) Love the disk brakes - much easier on the hands. Not painful to brake which was a problem with hard braking before. 4) Did not care about the electronic shifting in purchasing and have been wowed by it. No pain in shifting which was a problem at times before. 5) Front fork is a bit steeper angle - quicker steering and less secure feel doing downhill. Expect to grow accustom to it. 6) Is a delight to ride.

This is my 2nd Roubaix. I’ve had tens of bikes, including Tarmac S-works, but the Roubaix is the best all-round bike. It can’t be beaten.

I had to do a custom build since it's impossible to find a finished bike configured this way. I was able to replicate the Comp features incl the SRAM Di2. Love the bike. Rode the Trek Domane, which I thought I wanted. Strong preference for the feel of the Roubaix. BTW, I have zero brand prefernce so this was entirely a choice based on the feel of the bike and the counsel of my fitter. Very glad that I found the right bike for my last rides....

I love my Roubaix comp! Out of my 5 bikes, it's the one I ride the most and is the most comfortable. The only difference is that my Roubaix has Ultegra vs. sram. Futureshock is amazing as I can tell a difference when I ride one of my bikes without futureshock. The geometry of the Roubaix is just perfect too as it's not too race-y, but also not fully relaxed either. If you are looking for a great looking and riding bike, you can't go wrong with the Roubaix!

I feel lucky in this time of bike shortages to have bought my new Roubaix Comp. Purchasing through Specialized on-line was easy and seamless. The $50 shipping fee was reasonable and it took only a week and a half to get it. The bike was packed well and easy to assemble with the help of their on-line video and included booklet. Not being able to test ride it was a concern, but the 30 day return policy gave me comfort. Riding this bike has reinvigorated my love of riding. I've ridden a different brand for about 18 years and have struggled to make it more comfortable. I'm an avid cyclist riding over 100 miles a week. My Roubaix out of the box was an excellent fit for me, although it may need a tweak or two in the future, it works for me now. I love the new technology (for me) of the hydraulic brakes and Rival AXS wireless shifting. Both work so well. Specialized has the purchase on-line down to a science. They send weekly emails fine tuning my knowledge of my new Rival group set. In contacting them, they returned my email promptly and thoroughly. Oh, did I say they included a torque wrench set with the bike? That was surprisingly cool. My only gripe, which Specialized probably has little control over, is the high cost of other group sets. I'm used to having Ultegra on my bikes (Force equivalent), but I was unwilling to pay 8K+. Fortunately, I love the Rival. It does what the others do, but a little heavier.
