Roubaix SL8 Expert

We created the endurance road category two decades ago proving that high ergonomics…
We deliver! Just say when and how.
Smoother is faster comes from suspending the rider, not the bike. As rough roads impact your Roubaix, our all-new Future Shock 3.0 and AfterShock technology keep you floating above the chaos - reducing impacts by 53% vs. the nearest competition.
The Roubaix’s endurance geometry delivers an “IN” the bike, not “ON” the bike feel that’s ideal for long rides. It relieves stress from your hands, arms, and shoulders, yet is ready to dissect any twisting mountain descent at full gas.
With tire clearance up to 38c/40mm, this endurance road machine delivers better traction than ever on rough roads and even light gravel. We’ve given it every mount your adventures could need—three bottle mounts, top-tube mounts, and it’s even fender-ready.
The new Roubaix SL8 is our most aero yet, with new fork shaping, a reimagined down tube, and dropped seat stays. At just 825 grams, the frame is 50 grams lighter, utilising lessons learned from the Aethos and our premium Fact 12r carbon blend. Nothing in its class is faster or lighter.
Roubaix with Future Shock was a game-changer for Peter Sagan as he chased Paris-Roubaix glory. But don’t take our word for it. Hear the 2018 Champion of the Hell of the North himself tell us exactly why he’s a fan of the Roubaix.
What does the greatest XC marathon racer in history choose when she hits the road? Roubaix, of course. Annika Langvad tells us why the Roubaix is her bike of choice to deliver race-level performance on the long days she loves.
Suspend The Rider (STR) technology not only eats up impacts so your body doesn’t have to, but it also reduces rolling resistance to keep you rolling faster on rough terrain with up to a massive 11.3 watts of savings—all proven by the Sports University of Cologne.
The smoothest endurance bike in the world, now in a gorgeous, limited Glacial Metallic color with the all-new SRAM RED AXS, custom Roval graphics, silver accents, and the new Hammerhead Karoo 3 cycling computer. With only 100 worldwide, each individually numbered, they’ll be snapped up faster than Future Shock eats potholes. Don’t wait!
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.
