## Owners and community
- Community: Questions why boardrooms made this decision; says it suits road and gravel riders. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn_ETze36dM&lc=UgxqDcR9vIMnH-TIrOR4AaABAg)
- Community: Trains on their Roubaix; uses a Madone for group rides, less stress on the body. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn_ETze36dM&lc=UgwZGF2yuLtw8vb97a14AaABAg)
- Community: Calls it practical all-rounder, reasonably light and responsive, though not exactly what a gravel bike is. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn_ETze36dM&lc=UgymW-UPEqCqjxnLdft4AaABAg)
- Owner: Great bike, but Specialized misjudged the 1x market; dealer struggled to sell them; the 2x 105 version sold better. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn_ETze36dM&lc=UgywvBaNkdeFcknakyh4AaABAg)

- Community: Rides like a dream on long distances; the SL8 is better for road and gravel, but personal choice. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn_ETze36dM&lc=UgxP0qqTsNbOPjxFOPd4AaABAg)
- Community: Review helped them move closer to buying this bike. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9CLC2nMXRA&lc=UgyKD1LyOFdvT7k0Jhh4AaABAg)

Problems owners mention: 1x drivetrain poorly received by market; Stock wheels/tires swapped for gravel and road use; single chainring causes uneven wear and less gearing; shorter wheelbase than prior endurance Roubaix.
