Welcome back to Specialized's Spring Classic Sale highlight week.  Today we are going to highlight the Roubaix line.



First up is the Roubaix SL4 Expert UI2 Compact with a MSRP of $5,100 on sale for $4,100.

“Everything is better. It's faster, and it absorbs the vibrations of the cobblestones.”
—Tom Boonen - Team Omega Pharma - Quick-Step,

The smoother, faster Roubaix SL4 Expert Ui2 features a super light and stiff FACT 10r carbon frame with tapered head tube, Zertz vibration dampers, and full internal cable routing—the same design that Tom Boonen rode to win the 2012 Paris-Roubaix. Equipped with Shimano Ultegra Ui2 components, and DT Axis 4.0 wheels.
