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 7r carbon fibre frame with oversized lower headset bearings, a full carbon fork with Zertz inserts (designed to minimise tiring vibrations) and a 10 speed Shimano 105 gearset.
Other features designed to keep fatigue at bay include a Body Geometry Avatar saddle and FACT carbon fibre seatpost with more Zertz inserts. Braking is performed by ultralight dual pivot brakes and Shimano 105 levers.
