2018 Ruby Sport

Looking for a bike to explore the road less travelled, while keeping room in your wallet for a mid-ride cappuccino? Look no further than the Ruby Sport.

The frame is among the lightest that we've ever made, and it's been constructed from our superlative FACT 9r carbon fibre. Its stiffness levels are also off the charts, and compared to the SL4 iteration of yesteryear, you'll experience a whole new, faster, and more efficient geometry. Through some engineering sorcery, however, we've managed to keep the same fit, feel, and position that we've all come to love from the SL4's Women's Endurance Geometry. Of course, you're probably thinking, "get on to the suspension thing up front."

We call it Future Shock, and essentially, it's a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. We developed this technology in partnership with McLaren Applied Technologies, and the result of this are a host of drastic performance improvements, namely in the vertical compliance department. Without giving a physics lecture, we found that focusing on vertical compliance, instead of fork splay, meant that we could improve smoothness, speed, and comfort in one fell swoop. And of all the bikes that we've tested with our Rolling Efficiency Model, the new Ruby outperforms anything on the market.

Lastly, we spec'd it with a host of components that blur the lines between steadfast reliability and outright performance, Shimano 105 shifting, hassle-free mechanical disc brakes, durable Axis Sport Disc wheels, and a women's-specific saddle.

A Pleasure to Ride

I had not ridden a road bike in decades mostly because of wrist and hand issues. The little bit of suspension in this bike helps tremendously to mitigate those issues. I love riding this bike - it is light, smooth, and a pleasure to ride. I am so glad I got it.

Second Road Bike - Love it!

I bought my first bike in 2004. It was aluminum frame with 650 wheels. I wanted an upgrade to keep up with my bikini g buddy who bought a new bike 3 years ago. So glad I did. This bike is so smooth and comfortable. My avg speed increased 2.5 mph! I bought it on 7/23 and rode it in the PMC 192 miles on 8/3 & 8/4. It was dreamy. Except day 2 the seat was pretty unbearable. I will be looking for a new seat to swap out for long rides. Color: I bought black with hot pink lettering. It's gorgeous. It sparkles in the sunoight! I purchased the Specialized Propero 3 helmet with mips and angi. The helmet is black, same pink, and coral. Matches beautifully! I've only had it for three weeks but I totally love it!

Love my Ruby

I was spoiled with this being my first road bike and it's been so amazing I'm addicted to it! The future shock works so well I didn't even know that most road bikes make your hands and arms go numb. I don't even feel most bumps and i get all the power of a stiff frame. The shifting works great, and the bike as a whole is really light.
