Roubaix was the first road bike i seriously considered. I moved away from the rough tarmac of the Royal National Park in Sydney and headed north west to Parramatta and got a Venge, then a tarmac SL7. Definitely interesting that you ride the roubaix so much.
Very interesting. I think you’d find the new Roubaix is now every bit as stiff and agile as the more aero bikes, just with that added compliance. Would love to hear your thoughts if you try one 🤘🏽🤘🏽
I have a 2017 Ruby, but am very interested in te new Roubaix. The wider tires, the ability to have fenders (a must in my wet climate) and the improved suspension all look like tempting improvements.
Mate. I thought I wanted a new Aethos. But I trust you. I hadn't even considered the Roubaix. Thanks. You're looking LEAN. Go you good thing. Out there on the road fighting the demons with ya.
I'm 70, weigh 85Kg, and hold down a full time job... I recently purchased the exact same bike Jack is riding - I also transitioned from an SWorks Tarmac and Trek Domane. My first big ride included an HC climb and several PRs on roads I've done numerous times on "faster" bikes. I recently got a 3rd fastest time, 1s off the KOM, on a bump that has been ridden by 1,309 people and 6,119 attempts. Unfortunately, I forgot to lock out the head shock, so was bouncing around while attempting to maintain > 600W... I know I'll get it next time.
This is Donald from Black and Tan. I just got a SL8 Roubiax, I’m using it as a gravel bike. We have very smooth gravel and I’ve stuffed 42 Pathfinder tire but will be swapping one size down on the rear to a 40. This bike is incredible and by far my favorite bike I’ve owned in a long time.
Have the 2020 Di2 Roubaix Expert… a superb,snappy endurance machine. Just wish you could swap out to a firmer spring to reduce sag. This was a much needed update.
@@Cycle9568 Ya,I gathered that. It'd be nice if you swap the 2.0 spring to a stiffer version. I'll go the 3 series too once the 2.0 is showing some wear.
I'm on my fourth Roubaix now, the SL7 is the perfect bike for the mixture of knackered tarmac, gritted old railway tracks and rough forestry tracks around my home in the Scottish Highlands. Now thinking about buying a 2023 S Works frameset and transferring the bits over. Russia is about to enter a prolonged civil war, so plan your route through the friendly Middle East.
Great vid Jack, short back sides & front suits you. Your Dad left crap Perth weather for fantastic Spain/Portugal adventure. Looking forward to your next adventure👊
Nice vid. I have a 21' Roubaix Sport and love the bike. It's so fast and comfortable with carbon wheels. I want to upgrade to a 24'/25' Roubiax comp to have di2 and large tire clearance for off road riding.
I rode one the other day. Man they feel slow compared to my sl4 rim brake roubaix which is 6.6kg with pedals and STIFF AF under power and thru the corners. Good if you want a gravel bike though.
Excellent bike I have a Roubaix myself BUT there has to be a way to get rid of exposed cables. And I know it has future shock but still has to be a way
The only thing I did different was flip the stem but beginning to think the geometry of the frame and riding position doesn't bode well for neg degree stem....always find myself wanting to be more upright on it
I know what you mean mate. I ran a -17 stem to begin with a few years back, but am very much comfy on a stock stem now. Obviously it’s a personal preference, but give it a whirl!
Hi Jack , can you let me know what you think between those 3 bikes? New Giant Defy v Specialized Roubaix v Canyon Endurace ? i only care about comfort and nothing else so i can go long all day out. i would really appreciate your answer
What stem length and angle are you riding and which handlrbar is installed? Thinking of using aero handlebar (-15mm height) and -12 degree stem -10mm).
Cool vid and hats off to you and your papa!man, specialized is just too late with this bike, I bought my Diverge in 2018 and all I have to do is change my tires for any riding that I want to do.
I reckon whichever bike you can get on is a great buy. All but the s-works frames use the same carbon, so the only differences are the finishing kits and other small personal preferences 👌🏽👌🏽
I just cracked my 2021 Roubaix sport frame. Was considering trying out Tarmac but I know i will regret it as i also do a lot of long rides. This just helped me decide!
@@jackultracyclistofficial is your black Sworks Roubaix a team edition? Or regular geometry? Do you prefer the less aggressive geo for your longer rides?
I am having the hardest time choosing between the roubiax or the aethos. As I saw in your other response, the aethos for climbing fast but the roubaix to climb all day. Lots of people say accelerating on the aethos is a unique experience and others say compared to the roubaix that the roubaix feels “sluggish” overall. There are some KOM’s around my id like to challenge but I’d also like to stay comfortable, for say, a 60 mile ride. I’m your opinion, since you’d ridden both bikes, is there a maximum range you’d ride the aethos for before you choose the roubaix? Thank you 🙏
Great question and sorry for the slow reply. I'm lucky enough to have an Aethos and a Roubaix in my garage. The Aethos doesn't leave the garage anymore. I only ride the Roubaix. The only time I would reach for the Aethos now, is if I was trying to break my own personal record for an Everest, on a silky smooth road. Earlier this year I climbed 100,000m in one month and did it all aboard Roubaix - why? It climbs well, it descends well and I can ride it day after day without feeling the fatigue that a normal road bike emits through road buzz. Theres just something fun about riding the bike. Its fast, its compliant and it cheats the wind! I hope this helps!!
This may be quite a silly question, but as someone who is wildly into the ultra stuff, and as someone who is seeking a faster endurance frame bike, what size would do best for someone standing 177.8cm? (5'10' for me over here in the States) I seem to have fallen, yet again, into an in-between size issue. Currently on a 54cm Cannondale but have had my eye on this one for a bit. Anything helps Jack!
Not a silly question at all! I’m 6’2 and on a 56cm so I’d say you’re a 54cm guy 👌🏽👌🏽 Pop into the local shop and see if you can get one setup roughly to your size. You won’t be disappointed!
@@jackultracyclistofficial My only other question is as follows: Are you rocking 32mm tires most of the time on these endeavors? Looking to ride a 444 mile route in under 24 hours, and would love a bike that can do that AND be comfortable out of the box!
Did you go down in the frame size with respect to the tarmac? In accordance with Specialized suggestion, I could use a 56 frame but Im (also) worried about the stack on the 56 Roubaix. Currently Im using a 56 Allez sprint frame, but I do not know if I could go down to a 54 size... Thank you for this video... it is amazing the content and your explanation about the performance of such bike... I think this coul help us a lot to make better purchase decisions. Thanks in advanced.
Great question. The front end of the Roubaix is higher than the tarmac and allez, but I don’t think that means you need to size down. For endurance style riding, not being in a super aggressive position is actually an advantage. I would say that if you’re a 56 on your Allez, you should go with a 56 on the Roubaix. I think you’ll love the bike, it’s a weapon! 🔥🔥
Thanks mate! Saddle height is 795mm. Depending on your flexibility, I think you could ride either the 56 or 58. The 58 will be a little higher at the front end, but thats not a bad thing!!
It looks like you’re not running the stock handlebar. Just curious,Can you tell us what bar you’re using? Did you make the change for compliance or fit reasons?
Hello. I am in mumbai and the roads here are horrible with potholes and stuff. I am looking for a fast bicycle which is versatile and can last at least for 5-7 years or more, and is safe in the rains, bad roads and the occasional mountain trips on the road. I deciding between this pinarello grevil and the specialised roubaix sport considering it is at a similar price (lower spec components) and can upgrade components in time if needed. Any suggestions which is better?
The Domane edges it by a slim margin in my view but I’d probably have to buy a Roubaix because Trek are non-existent in my country and Specialized has the best service of all the brands. Frankly, except for the price I find nothing that I can’t live with in the Pro.
@@diesel9677 well how harsh can it be really if you fit 38mm tires and run them at around or below 3bar? I have a no suspension gravel bike which is super plush only because of the tires
For the love of God, make a bike with proper endurance geometry that doesn’t have any suspension tricks. 25’s are dead, we got big tires, we’re all set. And I didn’t even say make it cheap 🤷🏻♂️
At least he disclosed at the outset that he’s “working with Specialized.” Too many other videos pretend to be neutral and don’t disclose their brand relationships.
"Fast, agile, compliant..." and HEAVY for climbs!! Sadly, this video is an Ad for a badly selling model that was made with cobles in mind. P.S. I like the geometry and tyre clearance of the bike but that shock should go.
Honestly throw a leg over and go for a ride. A did 26+ Everests on a Roubaix last year and was lucky enough to have had an Aethos I could choose from too.
@@jackultracyclistofficial I'll give it a test ride! After you disclose how much money you make from your Specialized contract, how much they paid for you to put out this video, and the terms and conditions of what you were allowed to say in the vid! Otherwise, cool commercial!
An awful, heavy and gimmicky bike. Specalized added the future shock so when it fails and it will, they can 'sell it twice'. Profit. A shock absorber in the front which adds weight and subtracts control, especially sprinting out the saddle is a marketing gimmick. A solution to a problem that doesn't exist with 30mm wide tires and a carbon fork to mute road disturbances. Best Roubaix Specialized ever made was the 2012 SL3 that Cancellara won the Paris Roubaix race. I have owned two. Ever since, Specialized has taken a purpose built race bike with friendly flex and endurance geometry and ruined it. UA-cam 'influencer's are merely a marketing arm of Specialized right down to your shirt with Specialized logo. Bringing along you old man doesn't add any veracity to your fake review. Fake reviews with kickback of trips to the location and/or a free bike for a fake review are a dime a dozen on youtube. The world we live in.
