'12 Specialized Roubaix SL3 Expert Compact

Thanks to a velvety-smooth and incredibly efficient carbon frame and fork, Specialized's Roubaix SL3 Expert could be the perfect ride. Your two-wheel adventures will be more enjoyable than ever as you reap the benefits of Specialized's back-friendly geometry and Zertz inserts that damp road vibration for a whole new level of road-riding comfort. The Roubaix also boasts super-speedy DT Swiss wheels and a Shimano 20-speed Ultegra component group with a compact crankset that provides premium shifting and the low gears to summit any hill in record time. Plus, you can't beat the Specialized carbon seatpost, Body Geometry seat and ergonomic handlebars for outstanding comfort and fun.

Features and Information

  • View the geometry chart.
  • This frame utilizes Specialized’s advanced FACT IS (Integrated Structure) construction method. By separating the frame into four main parts — the front triangle, seat tube/bottom bracket, chainstays and seatstays — Specialized is able to optimize each carbon piece for its specific purpose and create a structure that’s incredibly light, impeccably stiff and impressively strong.
  • Specialized's Zertz viscoelastic inserts damp vibrations for a velvety smooth ride so you stay comfortable and refreshed mile after mile.
  • Choose your preferred pedals (sold separately) from our wide selection.

    Comments:

    I've rode this bike for 2 yrs now, and I still love it. It rides so smooth, fast and most important of all, a very comfotable ride. I occasionally have back problems, but after a 25 plus mile ride, my lower back pain is very minimal to none. Great price for a top quality bike.

      This is a great bike. Lightweight. Very responsive. Extremely comfortable ride. Staff at my LBS was very helpful and professional. I test rode numerous bikes but always came back to the Roubaix Expert. Well worth the price!!
