Today, the all-new Roubaix SL8 with Future Shock 3.0 takes that legacy further - lighter, faster, smoother, and more capable than ever. Built to inspire confidence on the roughest roads, Roubaix turns every ride into heaven above, no matter what?s below.

Compliance & Comfort

• Future Shock 3.0: 20mm of stiction-free travel above the head tube keeps hands and bars steady, smoothing rough roads without sacrificing speed or control. More tunable and durable than ever.
• AfterShock Technology: Dropped seat clamp and Pav seatpost work together to deliver optimal vertical compliance while preserving efficiency.
• Ride Science Proven: Reduces impacts at the bars and saddle by 53% vs. the nearest competition, keeping momentum on rough terrain where traditional forks lose speed.

Capability & Versatility

• Endurance Geometry: Puts you "in" the bike, relieving pressure on hands, arms, and shoulders for all-day comfort without compromising performance.
• Massive Tire Clearance: Fits up to 40mm tires for superior traction on rough roads and light gravel, without tradeoffs in speed.
• Adventure-Ready: Equipped with three bottle mounts, top-tube mounts, and fender compatibility, so you're prepared for epic days in the saddle.

Performance & Speed

• Aero Efficiency: Refined with FreeFoil Library shapes and dropped seat stays, the Roubaix SL8 is the most aerodynamic Roubaix ever.
• Lightweight Frame: At just 950 grams, the Fact 10r carbon frame draws on lessons from the ultra-light Aethos, delivering world-class stiffness-to-weight in an endurance platform.
• Nothing Faster in Its Class: Smooth, aero, and feather-light, the Roubaix SL8 is built to perform on every road.
