Specialized Ruby Elite

If it’s pure comfort you’re after, the carbon-framed Ruby can provide an abundance, but with a weight penalty.

The Future Shock suspension in the cockpit works like a dream, isolating you from hard hits and road rumble with an effectiveness that takes a ride on the bike to believe. Don’t let the smoothness of the ride fool you into thinking this is just about comfort; it disguises an impressive turn of speed. Climbing efficiency is partially compromised due to the upright riding position, making the Ruby more suited to long road miles and rough surfaces rather than pure acceleration.
