Specialized Roubaix SL4 Bike - 2017

The Roubaix SL4 makes sure that you have what you need to explore the road less traveled, while keeping room in your wallet for a mid-ride brew. It features a FACT 10r carbon fiber frame that's been outfitted with Shimano's bombproof Tiagra components, an ultra-stiff Praxis crankset, and smooth-rolling Axis Elite wheels. Of course, you'll also benefit from our proprietary technology that's been tested and proven on the cobbles of Northern France, like our vibration absorbing Zertz inserts throughout the frame and fork and a compact race design. So go ahead and push it to the limits—the Roubaix will take it and keep coming back for more.The SL4 FACT 10r carbon frame has all of the road absorbing, engineered compliance that you'd expect from a bike born on the cobbles, yet its compact endurance race design provides all of the responsiveness and performance you need for long days in the saddle.FACT carbon fork is optimized for stiffness and responsive steering, while road chatter and vibration are significantly reduced via our proprietary Zertz elastomer inserts. A stiff, lightweight alloy Praxis Alba 2D crankset is there to punch well above its weight class, minimizing energy loss while you're hammering away on the pedals.
