Fuji Roubaix 1.3 Road Bike 2016

Fuji Roubaix 1.3 Road Bike 2016. Now, we say this quite a bit about Fuji bikes, because we love them after all, but the Fuji Roubaix 1.3 hits the sweet spot when it comes to road performance and body comfort. After all, you can't just throw a bunch of nice parts on a bike and expect it to ride well. Bikes need to be engineered for the demands of their riders. Fuji knows that as well as anybody. Bikes have been around for over 100 years and they've been endlessly tinkered with and refined for longer than cars have been around. Fuji, one of the oldest brands still in existence today, continues to produce their Roubaix model, but doesn't tinker with it for one reason: you. You say so. The Fuji Roubaix 1.3 road bike is exactly what you want, and has been for years. It has a superior design, competent components, and it's dependable as can be. It's one of our best selling models and will continue to be for years to come. The Fuji Roubaix is designed with more aggressive race geometry to improve critical aerodynamics for maximum speed, and meet the end goal of elevating your performance. Fuji uses their proprietary aluminum tubes, which are butted, to increase the frame's durability and maximize rider energy output through enhanced stiffness. A Press Fit BB86 bottom bracket shell provides more surface area to attach a larger down tube and chain stays for better stability and rigidity under load. The internal bearing design is also lighter than traditional external cups as well. The shorter head tube of the Roubaix lowers the handlebar position and consequently puts you in a more aerodynamic riding position. Additionally, the head tube is tapered to improve front end handling and increase strength under rider torque. Finally, the Roubaix frame is designed with shorter chainstays, which results in a shorter wheelbase for precise handling at a moment's notice, and a full carbon fork carbon steerer too to smooth out the road ahead. Every Roubaix has a mix of great components. The 1.3 features a Shimano 105 11 speed drivetrain parts and an Oval 520 mid compact crankset. A forgiving 1128 cassette allows you to handle grades of all kinds without sacrificing big gears for power. Oval's luscious suede tape and road tuned saddle make every ride enjoyable and sturdy alloy bars, stem and seatpost keep you confident and in control. Fuji has packed a ton of great detail into the Roubaix 1.3 and we think you'll agree it makes a terrific all around bike.
