The SoCalCycling.com Team has consistently been landing the Team on the podium week in and week out. Whether the Team is climbing the hills in a road race or winning a field sprint in a criterium or just riding off the front, the Fuji Roubaix Elite frame has proven to be a solid all around performer.
Fuji Bikes explains, “The Fuji Roubaix Elite was designed with the goal of creating one of the lightest aluminum race bikes on the market. With a frame weight of 1090g, it sits in an elite class of aluminum road bikes. Svelte as it is, the Roubaix doesn’t sacrifice strength or stiffness to be a featherweight.”

Some Key Features on of the Fuji Roubaix Elite frame include:
- A6-SL super-butted alloy frame removes frame material from low stress areas to decrease frame weight while maintaining frame stiffness
- 1090g raw frame weight
- FC440 full carbon fork with tapered steerer tube
- Roubaix Elite uses an anodized finish on the frame that is ultra durable and limits additional weight to the frame
- Internal cable routing for clean aesthetics and long cable life
- Shaped tubing near the bottom bracket maximize power transfer
- Asymmetrical chainstays maintain lateral stiffness and aid in improved pedaling efficiency
