Specialized Roubaix

Roubaix Puts You in The Rider’s (Comfortable) Seat

The Specialized Roubaix may have an exotic name but it is a good, down to earth bike, offering a great ride with little, if any, discomfort.

Roubaix handles well at speed but is a little slow off the mark claims one tester.

One former racer described his bike as being a most comfortable trainer.

For a fast, go along, high performing bike, Roubaix offers advanced ergonomics with a frame that is light and dependent, quick and compliant.

Fatigue – Especially after long haul riding. Roubaix has never heard of it judging by comments from some riders putting the bike through its paces in Utah.

A British rider took his through the hills and dales of Yorkshire. After an 80km ride his comment was: “Unbelievably comfortable – although he did enhance the saddle a bit. Nonetheless, he bought a Roubaix for himself a few days later.

In the main, there are a lot of good things to be said about the Roubaix – I haven’t yet worked out the French translation, but, what’s in a name when it is a product, and a good one, from the Specialized Group.

On a par with other bikes of its kind – Roubaix is not overly expensive – in the $3000 range.
