Is the Roubaix fast?

Well, that’s still sort of true. But with the Roubaix now faster and much lighter than before, and Specialized even claiming it’s faster than the Tarmac SL6, the Roubaix steps into a bigger spotlight, and may just end up making the most sense for an even larger group of cyclists.

Endurance bikes allow riders to go farther and explore every road possible without being limited by their equipment. The two kings of the endurance category are the Specialized Roubaix and the Trek Domane.
