Roubaix SL8 Features

  • Compliance, Capability, Performance

    “It feels very much like one of the purebred road racing bikes, it’s just anew dimension of comfort and suspension. you’re just floating. I could easily spend 8 hours on this bike every single day.”

    -Annika Langvad (5X XC MARATHON WORLD CHAMPION, 2016 XC WORLD CHAMPION)

  • Smoother Is Faster

    “I remember when we did the first Paris-Roubaix without any shocks, I had swollen fingers for one week. Now with FutureShock, you don’t even know that you ride on the cobblestones. You really feel the power you are producing is going to the pedals.”

    -Peter Sagan (3X ROAD WORLD CHAMPION, 2018 PARIS ROUBAIX CHAMPION)

  • Future Shock 3.0

    Individual riders can tune how Future Shock 3.0 reacts to bumps based on their terrain. Three different springs are offered - firm, medium, and soft - and with each of those springs, up to five preload washers can be used. Need it firm for an aggressive position and big cobbles like our pros? Or maybe you ride in a relaxed position and want it to feel nice and soft to eat up high-frequency vibrations or chip seal? Your setup can easily be tweaked at home in a matter of minutes. If you can remove a stem, you can dial in a Future Shock 3.0
