I have had my 2024 SL8 Roubaix Expert size 56 since late December of 2023 and have logged about 300 miles so far. I am 50 years old and average roughly 100-125 miles a week - this puts me in the saddle for rides that range from 1 hour, to about 3-4 hours each ride.
I am BLOWN AWAY by the comfort, tech, quality, look, and the speed of this bike. My previous bike was an entry level aluminum 8/16 speed that I logged well over 30k miles on, the Roubaix is a MASSIVE upgrade and I can’t believe how great this bike feels to ride.
Specialized says that the Tarmac SL8 is “one bike to rule them all” but I disagree – I think the 2024 Roubaix SL8 is that bike, at least for someone like me – super comfortable riding position, electronic shifting that works like a dream, combined with the Future Shock 3.2 and AfterShock technology, make the bike just stiff enough for excellent speed, but also super comfortable for rides on most any terrain and any length - you gotta try this bike!
