Specialized S-Works Crux Gravel Bike Description:

The Specialized S-Works Crux Gravel Bike is Specialized’s lightest-produced gravel bike to date, incorporating a feather-weight carbon fiber frame, comfortably stiff cockpit, and elegant component spec for a top-tier build that expresses an ultimate level of gravel excellence. S-Works Crux 12r carbon fiber frames inherit crucial breakthroughs discovered when engineering Aethos, Specialized’s lightest bike ever, leading to a gravel frame that challenges expectations about durability and ride quality that feels as though it floats over rough terrain yet still clocks in at a weight lesser than a topped-off water bottle. A frame bearing the title “lightest” shouldn’t lessen capability; Crux still wields the ability to enable the use of wide gravel tires, leaving users to choose the gravel tire of their preference, up to 47mm for 700c wheels and 2.1″ for 650b. Crux manages both a stunningly low weight and accommodating tire clearance, while still generating a ride that is responsive at the pedals, supple in the saddle, and programmed with gravel geometry and a race-influenced fit led by a winning history in the variable world of cyclocross.

S-Works hangs a high banner of quality for every bike bearing its name; S-Works Crux bikes are no exception. A suite of extraordinary components is led by the compliant, wide-rim carbon fiber Roval Terra CLX II wheelset, a selection that entertains wide tires with ease and furnishes a comfortable ride that handles off-road activity with a storied level of proficiency. A Roval Terra carbon fiber handlebar and an Alpinist carbon seatpost piece together a continuous cockpit feel of comfort and compliance, with a united weight that leaves no need for aftermarket replacement. Body contact with the saddle is expertly addressed by an S-Works Power Mirror Saddle, a 3D printed design that has been rigorously modeled and crafted to supply an anatomically corrected approach to saddle contact that promotes blood flow and lessens seatbone pressure. SRAM’s RED XPLR AXS wireless 1 x 13-speed drivetrain provides lightning-fast, responsive shifting that’s been added thanks to the Crux’ enlistment of SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) design, a move that increases drivetrain durability and furthers weight saving. Internal routing for SRAM’s RED E1 AXS hydraulic brakes hides away the appearance of brake hoses and leaves riders to focus on the crisp, powerful braking response of SRAM’s highest hydraulic braking option.
