Roubaix SL8: The Ultimate Endurance Road Machine
The Roubaix SL8 redefines what it means to ride smooth and fast. With the all-new Future Shock 3.0 and AfterShock technology, this bike suspends the rider, not the bike, allowing you to float over rough roads with ease. These innovations reduce impacts by 53% compared to the nearest competition, ensuring you stay comfortable and in control, even on the longest rides. The Roubaix’s endurance geometry positions you "IN" the bike rather than "ON" it, relieving stress on your hands, arms, and shoulders, while still delivering the agility needed to tackle twisting mountain descents at full speed. Whether you're navigating rough roads or light gravel, the Roubaix SL8’s 38c/40mm tire clearance offers superior traction and versatility.
