FEATURESWith seven 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 Expert now delivers compliance without compromise by introducing a radical new Future Shock 1.5 that gives you more control on rough roads, a new Pav seatpost that creates our most balanced Roubaix to date, aerodynamics that equal the Tarmac, and a Rider First Engineered frame thats shed some serious weight. Is it still comfortable Sure, but dont call it a comfort bike, because performance was behind every engineering decision we made. This is the new Roubaix.This Roubaix Sport provides a tremendous value, but like the frame itself, this value doesnt come with any compromises. We specd it with Shimanos 105 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 Pav seatpost, 28mm Turbo Pro tires, and our fan favorite Power Sport 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 is more aero than 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, weve made room for 33mm tires.To go along with the new frame, weve also developed a totally new S Works Pav seatpost. Not only is it the first compliant seatpost thats 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
