Specialized Roubaix Expert Long-Term Review
Future Shock Takes the Edge Off
By Matthew Loveridge
[Location] - Specialized's Roubaix has long been the go-to bike for riders seeking a comfortable and efficient ride, especially on rough roads. The latest Expert model features Future Shock, a suspension system that takes the edge off even the roughest terrain. I've been testing the Roubaix Expert for several months now, and I've been impressed with its ability to smooth out bumps and vibrations without sacrificing speed or handling.
The Roubaix Expert's Future Shock system consists of a hydraulic damper and a spring that is mounted in the head tube. The system provides 20mm of travel, which is enough to take the sting out of most bumps and potholes. I found that the Future Shock made a noticeable difference in my ride quality, especially on long rides or on rough roads. I was able to ride for longer periods of time without getting fatigued, and I felt much more comfortable overall.
Despite its plush ride quality, the Roubaix Expert is still a very efficient bike. The frame is made from Specialized's FACT 11r carbon fiber, which is both lightweight and stiff. The bike also features a Shimano Ultegra groupset, which provides smooth and precise shifting. I found that the Roubaix Expert was a joy to ride on both flat roads and hills.
Overall, I've been very impressed with the Specialized Roubaix Expert. It's a comfortable and efficient bike that is perfect for riders who want to ride long distances or on rough roads. The Future Shock system is a game-changer, and it makes a noticeable difference in the ride quality. If you're looking for a high-performance bike that won't beat you up, I highly recommend the Roubaix Expert.
