Specialized Crux 5 S-Level Gravel Bike Description:

The Specialized Crux 5 S-Level Gravel Bike Gravel Bike proves that you can achieve a comfortable ride along with outstanding performance. Specialized engineers set out to improve the aerodynamics and refine the handling performance of their purpose built gravel racing platform while retaining the smooth ride and lightweight that made the 4th generation Crux a fan favorite; mission accomplished! Tube shapes inspired by the Tarmac SL8 road bike are blended with a gravel specific geometry to improve the aerodynamic efficiency significantly over the previous generation of Crux, and as an additional benefit those tube shapes effectively disperse loads and stress more effectively, allowing the engineers to further optimize the FACT 10r carbon fiber construction to create a lightweight and very smooth riding structure. The S-Works carbon fiber fork also has a more aerodynamic shape to the legs, and like the frame, the tire clearance has been boosted so this bike can fit up to 700x55mm wide (or 29″x2.2″ wide) tires.

This spectacular frameset is adorned with an assortment of go fast bits that will put the rider in the best position to rapidly get down the road and trails. SRAM’s flagship Red AXS XPLR 1×13 speed wireless electronic drivetrain delivers very crisp shifting and has a broad gear range so the rider can find a comfortable pedaling cadence over any terrain. SRAM also provides the easy to modulate and powerful Red hydraulic disc brakes which provide abundant power for confident braking over any trail and in any weather condition. Roval Terra Aero CL carbon rims are laced to DT Swiss 350 hubs, and these wheels are shod with Pathfinder tubeless tires to provide an aerodynamically efficient and smooth rolling combination. Last but not least, an ergonomic and featherlight Roval Terra Cockpit wrapped in Supacaz handlebar tape and a Power Pro Mirror saddle ensures every point where the body touches the bike is comfortable, ensuring the rider can focus all of their attention and energy on getting down the road and trails as fast as possible.

Features:

• Aerodynamic and lightweight gravel racing-style bike, with the frame tipping the scales at only 897g for the Carbon 10r frames (about the weight of one full 24oz water bottle)
• Using decades of aero research, borrowing tube shaping developed for the Tarmac SL8, and optimizing the carbon layup to eliminate unnecessary material results in a bike that is light, strong, smooth riding, and is significantly more aero than the previous version
• S-Works FACT Carbon fork uses a thin tear drop shape with a flat trailing edge that improves aerodynamics and torsional stiffness, while also absorbing minute vibrations and dulling impacts to reduce rider fatigue
• Progressive gravel geometry improves balance on the bike by using a longer reach with a shorter stem, a slightly slacker head tube angle, lower bottom bracket height, and a slightly steeper seat tube angle for more efficient power generation
• Frame and fork have generous tire clearance, fitting up to 700 x 55mm or 29″ x 2.2″ wide tires (depending on tire and rim combination)
• SRAM Red AXS XPLR wireless electronic drivetrain offers a very broad 1 x 13 speed gear range so there is the right gear for any terrain, and the shifting is very crisp and fast
• SRAM Red hydraulic disc brakes are easy to modulate and have plenty of power to control the bikes speed in any trail or weather conditions
• Roval Terra Aero CL wheels feature a 50mm depth up front and a 45mm depth in the rear plus a generous 27mm inner width, resulting in a wheel system that achieves a significant aerodynamic improvement vs. shallower rims along with excellent support for wider tires
• Specialized Pathfinder tires are tubeless ready and are designed to deliver a very smooth ride and incredible speeds especially over paved and/or hardpacked surfaces
• Lightweight Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 Carbon Seatpost features an aerodynamic shape and will dull vibrations transmitted up from the road/trail
• Specialized Power Pro Mirror saddle utilizes a 3D printed padding/surface that offers superior sit-bone support and comfort, and a pronounced pressure relief groove in the middle of the saddle prevents numbness especially during long bike rides
• Lightweight Roval Terra Cockpit is a carbon fiber integrated stem and handlebar combo with a 12° flare, a compact bend, ergonomic top section, and a great balance between stiffness and compliance
• Supacaz bar tape adds a stylish hint of premium comfort and all weather grip
