S-Works Roubaix SL8 Frameset - FACT 12R Carbon

We created the endurance road category two decades ago proving that high ergonomics means high performance. Today, the new Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 is lighter, faster, and smoother than any road bike ever made, unleashing unmatched confidence. The road may be hell below, but on Roubaix, it's always heaven above. Future Shock 3.0 is the star of the show, more tunable, adjustable, and durable than ever. Regardless of position on the bike, every rider experiences 20mm of smooth, stiction-free travel between the stem and head tube. Future Shock helps keep your hands and bars steady for a smoother ride with more control to stay fast, safe, and confident. The dropped clamp design exposes more seatpost to increase deflection, while the Pavé seatpost controls that deflection for optimal vertical compliance. Together they create AfterShock technology, and when paired with the Roubaix's rigid rear triangle, deliver a smooth ride with no loss in efficiency. The Roubaix SL8 is the smoothest road bike the Ride Science Team has ever tested, reducing impacts at the bars and saddle by 53% versus the nearest competition. The Roubaix pioneered endurance geometry, so you ride in the bike, not on the bike to relieve pressure on your hands, arms, and shoulders for capability and confidence on any road. It's ready to dissect a mountain descent at full gas. With tire clearance up to 40mm, this endurance road machine delivers better traction than ever on rough roads and even light gravel. Roubaix inspires really big days on the bike, so it comes equipped with three bottle mounts, top-tube mounts, and is fender-ready. The new Roubaix SL8 is the most aero yet, with new aero shapes from the Free Foil library and dropped seat stays. At just 828 grams, the frame is 50 grams lighter, utilizing lessons learned from the Aethos and the premium FACT 12R carbon blend.
