2018 Specialized Ruby Elite

Professional Reviews

If you’re a fan of long distances, plenty of comfort and perhaps a cheeky detour to the gravel side of things, the Ruby is the bike for you, or certainly one to consider!

I feel its versatility is limited by the upright position, so while it excels at comfort it’s not going to be as well suited to more aggressive riding or racing… unless it happens to be on terrible roads. But it’s very good at what it’s designed to do. It’s a bike I’ve happily spent hours on and feel fresh afterwards.

The upright position does compromise climbing ability though if you’re looking to ride more aggressively and does take a little getting used to.

3.5/5
