2020 Specialized line up
Does Anyone know when specialized will announce their 2020 models? In the market for a new bike looking at the Roubaix.

New bike models are generally released around the running of the Tour de France, in time for the summer riding season. Last big retooling of the Roubaix line was in 2017. Since then there has just been minor fine tuning. Probably too soon for another big redesign, but you never know.

I was just at a shop that carries Specialized and the owner was talking with one of his employees about the new Roubaix. Didn't catch what he said about it, other than that it still won't have fender mounts (a big minus for us here in the PNW). I think the dealers were given a preview of the lineup? If so, your best bet is to ask your local dealers.

usually trade show season is at the end of the summer, then is when new models are shown, and big dealers place pre season orders..

I just took a look at the Roubaix. It has the Shimano Tiagra groupset which is quite nice. The only thing I see that could change is if they got a Tiagra hydraulic brake system. I believe this is the first year that Tiagra is offered with hydraulic breaks.
Now, if you have the money, this year the 105 groupset has experienced big changes. Hydraulic brakes and a new design in its break levers and shifters. It's a fantastic groupset on paper and you can see a couple reviews on youtube.

Some 2020 stuff is out at least in the e-bikes. Most of the changes are pretty subtle and confusing with the models changing numbers but staying relatively the same so a Como 2.0 is now a 3.0 but with the same basic spec. We will probably see other bikes in the summer and fall.

Anyone got any updates on OP's question, closer to the date? I saw the new 2020 road eBike, with the Sagan commercial, but that's about it. Oh, and the Sequoia has been dropped from the range, following the AWOL being dropped a year or two ago.
