Fast & Furious Friday - SPECIALIZED S-WORKS ROUBAIX SL4 DI2 COMPACT



Today we are highlighting a top of the line race bike from Specialized:  S-Works Roubaix SL4 DI2 Compact.  This bike carries top of the line components and a top of the line price tag as well, but if you are looking for a lifetime investment bike you cannot go wrong with this beauty!

Let's see what Specialized has to say:

The smoother, faster S-Works Roubaix SL4 features a super light and stiff FACT 11r carbon frame with tapered head tube, Zertz vibration dampers, and full internal cable routing—the same frame that Tom Boonen rode to win the 2012 Paris-Roubaix. Equipped with Pro-Tour proven Dura Ace Di2 components, Specialized SL FACT carbon cranks, and Roval Rapide CLX 40 wheels.
  • S-Works FACT 11r SL4 frame with Zertz is the fastest and smoothest endurance bike avaliable, with size specific engineering, tapered headtube, ultra lightweight.
  • All-new Specialized FACT carbon fork with Zertz has size-specific engineering that creates a more balanced and stable ride for riders of different sizes
  • Ultra-light Roval Rapide CLX 40 wheelset for low aerodynamic drag, and low rolling resistance thanks to Ceramic Speed bearings.
  • Specialized S-Works FACT carbon crankset with OSBB, removable carbon spider, and ceramic bearings has incredible stiffness-to-weight for max power
  • S-Works SL ergonomic carbon handlebars for superior fit, comfort, stiffness, and strength at minimal weight
  • Ultra-light and stiff BG Toupe RBX Pro saddle with carbon rails; paired with the new S-Works Flex post sharpens handling and dampens road vibration

You might not be able to race Paris-Roubaix if you purchase this bike but it sure couldn't hurt your chances
