The Roubaix and Ruby geometries played a key role in our decision to become a
Specialized dealer. These geometries are also available in alloy versions,
the Secteur and the Dolce, which offer similar ride quality for a budget price.
Common to all Roubaix, Ruby, Secteur, and Dolce models:
 | Zertz Inserts forks for more effective damping of road
vibration |
| Combines a comfort position with race-quality handling
characteristics, so you don't have to sacrifice performance to ease the
strain on your back |
Common to all Roubaix and Ruby models:
| Zertz Inserts seatstays, designed to further damp road
vibration |
| Very high quality carbon lay-up through all models, not just at
the top |
| While not the lightest carbon frames available, the Roubaix
and Ruby are designed to take the hammering dished out by cobblestones, so
they are among the most durable carbon frames |
For most riders, the geometry and ride quality is a great investment, especially
given the declining quality of our
roads.
Still not certain a bike this comfortable can be rated as a
true performance bike? Check out this video of
Fabian
Cancellara attacking in the 2010 Paris-Roubaix on his Specialized
Roubaix.
Specialized's Tarmac and
Allez also offer exceptional ride and
value, and we offer these on a special order basis, including our wheel
upgrade credit for riders who want better-than-stock wheels.

shifting triple in this price range |

| Combines Dolce ride quality with the outstanding
performance of the SRAM Apex group |
| Compact cranks and wide range cassette offer a 34-32 low
gear, perfect for the steep pitches of the Gaps |

Ksyrium Equipes on a Dolce Elite, and you have a racing bike for $1720 |

| Combines Secteur ride quality with the outstanding
performance of the SRAM Apex group |
| Compact cranks and wide range cassette offer a 34-32 low

Roubaix SL2 Elite Apex $2000 
| The SL2 was the top Roubaix frame until '10, notching 2 of
the Roubaix's 3 victories in its namesake race -- 8r carbon

for this price point |

offer a 34-32 low gear, perfect for the steep pitches of the Gaps |
| Wheel upgrade credit: $150 -- swap out the stock
wheels for Mavic Ksyrium Elites, and you knock a pound off the overall
weight of the bike, and you have an exceptional carbon racing bike for just $2500 |
Roubaix Expert $3600 
| SL3 new in '10, to rave reviews -- 10r carbon surpassed
only by S-Works 11r. |
| Ultegra 6750 compact group provides top-of-the-line
functionality with a slightly higher weight for a more reasonable price. |
| 34-28 low gear to get you over the Gaps. |
| Wheel upgrade credit: $300 -- or, if you want to
upgrade to the super-light Topolino CTR 2.0s, we'll do the whole package for
$4,600 ($420 credit). The Topolino upgrade drops the weight of a stock
56cm Roubaix Expert from 17.65 pounds to a very svelte 16.15 pounds, without
pedals. |
