Fuji Roubaix Elite Road Bike Frame 2017. Whether it's time to upgrade and move over parts from your existing ride, or your looking to build up a new aluminum race machine, the Fuji Roubaix Elite road frame and fork are a great choice to be the foundation for your next great ride. The Fuji Roubaix frame is designed with more aggressive race geometry to improve critical aerodynamics for maximum speed, and meet the end goal of elevating your performance. Fuji uses their proprietary aluminum tubes, which are butted, to increase the frame's durability and maximize rider energy output through enhanced stiffness. A Press Fit BB86 bottom bracket shell provides more surface area to attach a larger down tube and chain stays for better stability and rigidity under load. The internal bearing design is also lighter than traditional external cups as well. The shorter head tube of the Roubaix lowers the handlebar position and consequently puts you in a more aerodynamic riding position. Additionally, the head tube is tapered to improve front end handling and increase strength under rider torque. Finally, the Roubaix frame is designed with shorter chainstays, which results in a shorter wheelbase for precise handling at a moment's notice, and a full carbon fork carbon steerer too to smooth out the road ahead.
