Specialized Ruby Expert - 2017

No matter where you ride, no road surface is perfect. That's why Specialized's Ruby Expert focuses on providing next-level smoothness in a package that's tailor-made for women of all abilities. Its revolutionary design erases any shadow of a doubt that smoother is indeed faster. The FACT 10r frame is exceptional in every way, offering the ideal blend of light overall weight and targeted stiffness. Paired to the frame is a Ruby Disc fork that is built from FACT carbon fiber for supreme stiffness, strength, and reactivity, while a thru-axle design only stands to bolster all of the above. Meanwhile, the all-new Future Shock "suspension" system at the cockpit, a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel, delivers a revolutionary degree of comfort and control. Its stiffness levels are also off the charts and you'll experience fast, efficient geometry. Rolling beneath you are DT R460 Disc wheels that provide the a balance of weight and rigidity. Shimano's Ultegra drivetrain delivers shifts that are precise as it gets. Lastly, they spec'd it with awesome components, like Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, a plush CG-R carbon seatpost and a women's-specific Ruby saddle.
