The Roubaix range takes its name from the Paris-Roubaix race in France. Not surprisingly the Roubaix is all about covering the ground as quickly and effortlessly as possible and is well suited to long hours in the saddle.
The Roubaix Elite a Specialized FACT carbon fibre frame, Zertz stem, handlebars and fork (all designed to minimise tiring vibrations) and a 10 speed Shimano 105 gearset.
Other features designed to keep fatigue at bay include a Body Geometry saddle and carbon fibre seatpost. Braking is performed by ultralight dual pivot brakes and Shimano 105 levers.
