Descriptive Summary:
The Specialized Ruby Expert is a marvel of modern cycling technology, designed to tackle the challenge of rough roads with grace and efficiency. At its heart lies the FACT 10r carbon fiber frame, which stands as one of the lightest frames Specialized has ever crafted. This high-grade carbon fiber construction ensures an optimal balance between lightness and robustness, making the bike both agile and durable. The frame's stiffness is unparalleled, surpassing the previous SL4 models, and it comes equipped with a new, more efficient geometry that promises to elevate your cycling experience to new heights. The design retains the beloved fit, feel, and position of the SL4’s Women’s Endurance Geometry, ensuring a familiar and comfortable ride for long-time enthusiasts.

One of the most notable features of the Ruby Expert is the innovative Future Shock suspension system. Developed in collaboration with McLaren Applied Technologies, this system incorporates a piston in the head tube, offering 20mm of travel. This advancement in suspension technology focuses on enhancing vertical compliance, which translates to significant improvements in smoothness, speed, and comfort. The Future Shock system marks a departure from traditional fork splay approaches, opting instead for a solution that addresses multiple performance aspects simultaneously. In tests conducted with the Rolling Efficiency Model, the Ruby has outperformed other bikes in its class, a testament to its superior design and engineering.

The Ruby Expert is not just about a sophisticated frame and suspension system; it also boasts high-quality components that complement its advanced design. The bike is fitted with Shimano RS-505 shifting and a combination of Ultegra 6800 and R8000 components, ensuring reliable and smooth gear transitions. Hydraulic disc brakes provide exceptional stopping power and modulation, essential for maintaining control in various conditions. The Ruby rides on Fulcrum wheels, paired with 28c wide Vittoria Corsa tires for added comfort and traction. This combination of top-tier components ensures that the Ruby Expert delivers a ride that is not only comfortable but also exceptionally responsive and efficient.
