Tired of rough roads wearing you out? So are we & thats why made the Ruby Expert. The frame is among the lightest that weve ever made & its been constructed from our superlative FACT 10r carbon fibre. Its stiffness levels are also off the charts & compared to the SL4 iteration of yesteryear youll experience a whole new faster & more efficient geometry. Through some engineering sorcery however weve managed to keep the same fit feel & position that weve all come to love from the SL4s Womens Endurance Geometry. Of course youre probably thinking "get on to the suspension thing up front." We call it Future Shock & essentially its a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. We developed this technology in partnership with McLaren Applied Technologies & the result of this are a host of drastic performance improvements namely in the vertical compliance department. Without giving a physics lecture we found that focusing on vertical compliance instead of fork splay meant that we could improve smoothness speed & comfort in one fell swoop. & of all the bikes that weve tested with our Rolling Efficiency Model the new Ruby outperforms anything on the market. Lastly we specd it with awesome components like Shimano Ultegra 6800 shifting hydraulic disc brakes & a womens-specific saddle. The FACT 10r frameset is exceptional in every way offering the ideal blend of light overall weight & targeted stiffness. Meanwhile the all-new Future Shock "suspension" system at the cockpit delivers a revolutionary degree of comfort & control.A Ruby Disc fork is built from our extraordinary FACT carbon fibre for supreme stiffness strength & reactivity while a thru-axle design only stands to bolster all of the above. Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes serve up tremendous stopping power & incredible modulation. Comes equipped with a 25lbs spring installed (
