Specialized Ruby Expert Women's Road Bike 2017
Let's face it, rough roads make riding your bike less fun. Numb hands and aching joints should not be part of the equation so Specialized have developed their new Specialized Ruby Expert Women's Road Bike 2017 to boost comfort, endurance and ultimately, your speed. With a rafter of new technology including the much talked about Future Shock suspension, this bike is ready to go the distance, however far that may be.
Developed alongside the McLaren F1 racing team, Future Shock suspension acts as a piston in the head tube to offer 20mm of travel making this bike ideal for rough roads as it improves vertical compliance by eliminating fork splay. The result is that your bike carries far more energy through rough sections of road while also smoothening out your ride for a greater level of comfort and efficiency. In Specialized's Rolling Efficiency Model the Ruby outperformed any other women's bike on the market, so expect a seriously smooth and fast ride.
Future Shock suspension combines with Specialized's premium FACT 10r carbon and a new seatpost clamping construction that adds torsional compliance for added comfort whilst you are sitting in the saddle and putting the power down.
The 12mm thru-axle is designed for use with disc brake wheels, helping to add stiffness and strength. Shimano provides the disc brakes in the form of their hydraulic model, ensuring you can stop with confidence in both wet and dry conditions.
A smooth ride requires reliable gearing and when it comes to mechanical groupsets, Shimano's Ultegra offering is hard to top. Complete with a compact crankset, this 11-speed groupset is perfect for taking on a variety of terrain.
SWAT storage sits over the bottom bracket, providing slimline storage space for items like an inner tube, multi tool and tyre levers.
Features:
- The FACT 10r frameset is exceptional in every way, offering the ideal blend of light overall weight and targeted stiffness. Meanwhile, the all-new Future Shock "suspension" system at the cockpit delivers a revolutionary degree of comfort and control.
- A Ruby Disc fork is built from Specialized's extraordinary FACT carbon fibre for supreme stiffness, strength, and reactivity, while a thru-axle design only stands to bolster all of the above.
- Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes serve up tremendous stopping power and incredible modulation.
