Specialized Crux 5 S-Works Gravel Bike Description:

The Specialized Crux 5 S-Works Gravel Bike Gravel Bike is an ultra-premium gravel bike with uncompromising comfort and performance. Specialized engineers used time in the wind tunnel with a moving leg mannequin, super computer-aided Flow State Design, and data gathered via race-day telemetry packs attached to the underside of the saddle on the team bikes used during the 2025 Unbound gravel race to optimize the frame tube shapes and the FACT 12r carbon fiber layup. The result is a frame with impressive aerodynamics, strength, and stiffness while maintaining the comfortable ride and low weight (only 789g frame weight for a 56cm) that made the 4th generation Crux a favorite with the gravel racing crowd. The product team also made subtle changes to the geometry to improve cornering performance and stability over unforgiving terrain. Additionally, the S-Works carbon fiber fork that is attached to the front of this bike has also received a more aerodynamic shape to the legs, and like the frame, the tire clearance has been boosted to accept 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, and a Quarqpower meter is tucked into the crankset so the rider can track their training progress and race-day performance. 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 CLX carbon rims are laced with trick Roval by ARRIS carbon/titanium aero spokes to Low Flange hubs stuffed with SINC ceramic bearings, resulting in an aerodynamic and strong wheelset with minimal rolling resistance and blistering acceleration; these wheels are shod with Pathfinder tubeless tires that have a low profile tread and large volume casing to produce a very smooth ride and excellent speed over pavement and firm terrain. Last but not least, an ergonomic and featherlight Roval Terra Cockpit wrapped in Supacaz handlebar tape and a S-Works Power Saddle with Mirror technology ensures every point where the body touches the bike is comfortable, allowing the rider to focus all of their attention and energy on getting down the road and trails as fast as possible.

Features:

• Built in small batches without compromises, this aerodynamic and lightweight gravel racing bike will unleash a riders full performance potential
• S-Works FACT 12r Frame uses Flow State Design to optimize tube shaping and the layup of the carbon fibers to produce a light (an impressive 789g for a 56cm frame), strong, and smooth riding frame that is significantly more aerodynamic than the previous generation Crux gravel bike
• 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 CLX 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
• LF19 Centerlock Disc Hubs front and rear are filled with proven DT Swiss 180 36T Ratchet EXP internals and SINC ceramic bearings for incredibly low rolling resistance and minimal maintenance
• Roval by ARRIS Aero Composite/Ti spokes boost the wheels lateral stiffness for predictable, stable handling and shaves off a significant amount of rotating weight resulting in much easier acceleration and climbing
• 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 S-Works Power w/ Mirror saddle has carbon fiber rails to reduce weigh, utilizes a 3D printed padding/surface for superior sit-bone support and comfort, and a pronounced pressure relief groove in the middle to prevent 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
