Wider tyre clearance. 28mm on Ultegra vs. 25mm on DA.
What special geo bikes? Roubaix bikes are off the peg. That 'available to public' rule has been breached in almost every event under UCI. It's clearly not policed. So long as the bikes fit in the jig before the race, they're allowed.

Thats the rule I was talking about. The synapse and roubaix that pros are riding arent available to public. The geo of Spesh Roubaix ridden by Boonen is different to MAMIL chariot geo that you get off the peg. Pro geo Domane is available to buy but only in certain sizes. Not sure about BMC and others.

Couple of questions regarding PR equipment.
Why were some pros using Ultegra brakes instead of DA? (E.g. Cav)
How can manufacturers get away with special geo roubaix bikes that they dont sell to the public with the UCI rule? (Cannondale and Specialized mainly).
