With six wins at Paris-Roubaix, our Roubaix has proven that Smoother is Faster. Until this moment, however, smooth has admittedly come with some compromises. But not anymore. The all-new Roubaix Comp now delivers compliance without compromise by introducing a radical new Future Shock 1.5 that gives you more control on rough roads, a new Pavé seatpost that creates our most balanced Roubaix to date, aerodynamics that equal the Tarmac, and a Rider-First Engineered™ frame that’s shed some serious weight. Is it still comfortable? Sure, but don’t call it a comfort bike, because performance was behind every engineering decision we made. This is the new Roubaix.

This Roubaix Comp provides a tremendous value, but like the frame itself, this value doesn’t come with any compromises. We spec’d it with Shimano’s Ultegra 11-speed groupset for its crisp shifts and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, as well as smooth and sturdy DT R470 Disc wheels, the all-new S-Works Pavé seatpost, 28mm Turbo Pro tires, and our fan-favorite Power Comp saddle.

  • 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’s as aero as 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.
  • With 20mm of rough-road-taming travel, the Future Shock 1.5 not only delivers a smoother, more comfortable ride, but it also reduces fatigue and increases speed over harsh terrain. The new Smooth Boot, meanwhile, enhances the aesthetics to bring a clean transition from the head tube to the stem

In love with my Roubaix

I started cycling earlier this year and I thought gravel bike was the way to go. I picked up a Cannondale Topstone AL Sora. Its gorgeous bike with plenty of rubber underneath but the frame is heavy and the Sora shifters are lacking. That said, I ride 100% of the time on paved paths and I was continually getting passed by road bike riders. After quickly realizing I wanted a road bike and further admitting that I won't be racing any time soon, I opted for endurance geometry. I looked at endurance offerings from Cannondale, Trek, Cervelo, and Specialized and opted for the specialized Roubaix Comp. (The Cervelo was a very very close second but they only had the SRAM setup) I splurged on the comp but didn't see the value in the Di 2 so I have mechanical shifters and hydraulic brakes - which is fine by me because they work flawlessly. I knocked out a 22 mile ride last night and shaved over 10 minutes off my old time setting 26PRs. I know people say road to gravel isn't that big a deal, but I think jumping up to the carbon frame and Ultegra shifters made a huge difference. I couldn't be happier with the performance and comfort of this bike.

Love at first sight

When you know, you know. I can't stop staring at her. But I'm happy to say, she's worth every penny and some. I did return the favor and accessorize a bit, so while more of a lady in the streets, she's still the same freak in the sheets. However, I refuse to let anyone else ride her. I believe it's mutual.

A great endurance bike that I would buy again

• I've had the Roubaix for a couple of weeks, and since I mix up my riding with mtn, I have only put about 160 miles on it. I think my longest ride has been about 45 miles with it, but I'm impressed by how eats up road variations and the predictable handling. The frame feels stiff and light on the road, but doesn't beat you up. Apparently the dropped seat stays attribute to a more forgiving ride. Plus I like the way they look. • I can't tell a huge difference having the futureshock, but I think that's the point; it's a subtle difference with benefit over many miles. Also, I feel comfortable regardless of my position on the bars, and I do change up a lot while riding. • The carbon seat post with minimal flex and saddle combination on the Roubaix is great, and I do notice a difference there. Adjusting the saddle height is a bit annoying as the allen bolt is vertical behind the seat post, but really who cares as you should only have to adjust it once. • Ultegra components- what can I say other than the stuff just works great and you don't have to think about it. And bonus; it is a hell of a lot less expensive than dura ace. • I'll probably upgrade DT R470 wheels at some point. They stock wheels are fine, but I would like to have a carbon set that spin up faster and are more aero… well just because • Finally what I like best about the Roubaix, is what I noticed yesterday when I was out breaking in a new pair of road shoes. I basically forgot I was trying new shoes because I just didn't notice them… they were comfortable and worked. The Roubaix is the same way. It lets you focus on your ride or get inside your head. I tend to both equally out on a ride.

I would buy this Roubaix Comp again

I am an older guy who has been riding over 30 years. My previous bike for 20+ years is a DeRosa Professional Merckx World Championship replica, Campy equipped so the Roubaix (2018 model) had some pretty stiff competition in terms of handling, groupset, weight, etc. That said, I have had the Roubaix for nearly a year and have done some tweaking to optimize comfort (reconstructed shattered wrist) and have to admit the bike quickly grew on me. The handling is predictable and responsive, comfort is good and the Ultegra component function spot on. Until this bike I had never ridden a Shimano equipped bike that truly impressed me. The hydraulic disc brakes are revolutionary compared to caliper. My bike is a bright red. The paint work is well done. The Future Shock front end does reduce road shock but I would suggest a few additional spring weights be made available for different size riders, predominately smaller ones. My bike came with 3 additional springs. I weigh 185 and have the lightest spring installed and even with the bar stem flipped so that the bars are lower and placing more weight on them I barely compress the spring at all so there is very little spring sag. Lighter riders would likely find this to their liking.

A supremely comfortable bike with plenty of performance

My first Specialized was the Tarmac and I was a little worried that I would be sacrificing a lot of performance by going with a Roubaix. I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised. The bike is smooth and comfortable without sacrificing responsiveness. A great all-around bike.

Pricing...

The 2020 Roubaix is a completely different bike than the previous version. Which in some ways is good, and bad in others. I purchased the Comp (non di2), satin black, version, and must say it's pretty phenomenal in that if you only had one bike to own this could be it. I purchased for a winter/travel bike, to back up my spec'd out Tarmac. Although you'll hear feedback like: ""it's more aero than_____"", it's still endurance geometry due to the future shock adding quite a bit of length above the normal stack height. The good: Fact 10r, Ultegra group set, geometry and design. The bad: cheap wheels and build pricing. Both Roubaix Comp builds don't include carbon wheels, which is fine, but both should at least have the 2.0 shock. I'd much rather see both Comp builds have C38's... for $600 more cost... than one of each, neither having carbon wheels. Or, have the Comp level bikes keep the alloy wheels, but both builds include the Future Shock 2.0. Either suggestion would still put this option $1,000 less than the Expert build. Requiring an Expert level purchase for carbon wheels and the The 2.0 shock is asking too much. The 2.0 Future shock is one of the most attractive aspects of the 2020 Roubaix, there should be more options for it. In the end, the new Roubaix makes choosing a Spesh bike in 2020 somewhat difficult. If you only want one bike for your go to... I'd say get either the Comp level, or if you race, but can't afford two bikes... get the Expert. If you already have a carbon set of wheels at home, the shock 2.0 is a moderately priced upgrade, which will get you to the Expert level, so Comp w/ Di2 would be perfect. I'm keeping my Roubaix Comp stock, since it is a back up winter and alternative travel bike. I put some GP4S wheels on it, tore off the DTSwiss decals, so it looks less cheap, and not touching anything else.

This is a great bike for the price.

I purchased this baby online 1.5 months through a local bike shop after spending weeks of searching. It arrived in a week, the local dealer put it together professionally and I rode it almost 320 miles so far and am very happy with the components and performance of this bike, highly recommend it.
