Specialized Roubaix or Tarmac? Test Ride Them Both with our Fresh Demo Bike Fleet!

This is confidence in the product; our test bikes are here for you, take it on your favourite route and experience the difference. The Roubaix SL4 is like no other bike frame on the market. You can Read the reviews, specs, and technology behind it, watch the pros ride it, but come in and be convinced by the experience.

To book a test bike, call or come in. Bring your pedals and a helmet, or can provide Shimano SPD or Look Keo pedals if necessary for your ride. 

'...you have the most compliant, greatest deflecting, sharpest handling, Roubaix that Specialized have ever built.

Specialized president Mike Sinyard used two analogies to describe the bike's ride and geometry. The ride is like a Porsche, he said, which goes fast, yet "nobody ever suffers in a Porsche, and nobody will suffer on this bike."

As for the geometry, Sinyard sees the Roubaix more like a classic, stable, Grand Tour bike of the '70s and '80s, rather than the upright old man bikes that have come to be the industry's definition of the endurance category.'

Rupert Elkington Takes Manly Cycles to the UK!

'2450m of climbing in 80k was a very very very hard race' 


Indeed, that sounds like an understatement. And if accumulated mud were any indication of difficulty, these photos would rate the effort even greater. 


Huge kudos go to Rupert for not only competing but completing The Marshbrook 80k mtb marathon in the Shropshire Hills. 

The route leads initially through a small area of forestry, then up onto the Long Mynd (meaning long mountain), the long route, immediately descending off the Long Mynd, making its way to the Stiperstones, a hill west of the Long Mynd, here you will ride some interesting single and twin tracks up and over the hill, after a short section of tarmac to get your breath back, you soon reach the Forest of Eastridge, which has been used in the past for NPS races.

After enjoying the technical single track descending, and beating the tough climbs you return to the Long Mynd an area of outstanding natural beauty, where there is an endless amount of exciting single tracks and bridleways, interspersed with short stretches on minor roads, and then, just when you think it can’t get any better the course finishes with the longest single track descent in Shropshire, possibly the longest in England.

'The Manly Cycles jersey was out there somewhere under all that mud, lucky it was black and not white.'

Epic bike, epic mud

Sneak Peek: 2013 Specialized Stumpjumper, Epic and Carve

Woah! We've dug up some exclusive pics of next years' top sellers. Here we can see some new colour ways (Keep in mind all colours may not be coming to Australia), and if you look real close, some of the new bits and pieces they're coming with. Rock Shox has some hot new retro-style decals, and are those Magura disc brakes?! We're definitely seeing Fox's autosag shock appearing on more models, and SRAM still remains a popular gearbox in these early images. These are all 29ers, but don't worry for all the 26 loyalists out there; Stumpy's will have plenty of options in the 'small' wheels.

If the price isn't shying you away from pressing the button on getting one, maybe its availability will be the deal-breaker - "Only 99 will be available, because this one has my name on it." Mike Sinyard, Specialized Founder and President
