McLaren is back at it, developing a high-priced
bicycle with Specialized, dubbed the S-Works Roubaix. Priced at a staggering US$ 11,500 in the U.S, the bike celebrates McLaren’s 50 years of Grand Prix racing
and pays homage to the automaker’s familiar Papaya Orange in a special shade
that Specialized has dubbed Heritage Orange.
Alongside the paint, the bicycle has bespoke leather
bar tape with orange stitching and hubs inspired by the wheels of classic
McLaren racing cars. Elsewhere, everything is the same as a typical
S-Works Roubaix. That means the bike’s frame and fork are made from
Specialized’s own form of carbon fiber and includes a Dura Ace Di2 drivetrain
from Shimano, 12x100 and 12x142 thru-axles and hydraulic disc brakes.
