Hi everyone,

Last year I built up a KTM Revaltor Sky . It was meant to replace a 2006 S-Works Roubaix. However riding both back to back I find the Roubaix more comfortable and more responsive to pedal input.

As such I’m now looking to transplant the KTM parts onto another ‘endurance’ carbon disc frame.  Living where I do it is very hard to test any bikes. Instinct tells me to get a newer Roubaix frame, even the non S-Works frames seem to be of a higher grade of carbon (10r) than my old Roubaix (which was 9r) which , when combined with an improved design, should theortically be better.

Any riders out there? Other bikes on the shortlist are Domane SLR, Bianchi Infinito CV and Synapse Hi-Mod.

Cheers

I hope I’m not breaking any forum rules by posting names of competitive rags.

Anyways, here is a link to a 2017 comparison between the Roubaix and Domane

If you can locate an April 2018 print issue of Road Bike Action magazine it has a very good write-up comparying the 2018 Roubaix and 2018 Domane. Unfortunaley the article is not online at this time.
