Fork material

When it comes to the fork, this bike has a carbon one, so, it’s a great addition to the bike’s value. However, carbon forks should be regularly inspected for damage because even the smallest crack could cause the fork to fall apart.

Wheels size

The wheels on S-Works Roubaix SL3 Compact are the 700c type. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.

Brakes

We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The S-Works Roubaix SL3 Compact comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
