SPECIALIZED S-WORKS CRUX GRAVEL BIKE

The new Specialized S-Works Crux is designed for those who want to go beyond the boundaries of traditional gravel: faster, lighter, more capable on any terrain. Starting from the Crux, already the world's lightest gravel bike, Specialized managed to shave off even more precious grams without sacrificing durability, comfort, and versatility. The 725-gram S-Works FACT 12r carbon frame seems to disappear beneath you when climbing, while the performance gravel geometry, inherited from the Crux's long history in cyclocross, offers a responsive ride on the pedals but surprisingly comfortable in the saddle. Ample tire clearance for up to 47c or 650b x 2.1” means total freedom in tire choice and routes: from compact gravel to the most technical single tracks. The new UDH dropout pairs with the SRAM RED XPLR 1x13 groupset, developed specifically for gravel, for a lighter, precise, and silent transmission with always perfect gearing for every situation. Completing the package are top-level components like the Roval Terra CLX II wheels, Terra handlebar, Alpinist seatpost, S-Works Power Mirror saddle, and Pathfinder Pro tires, for a bike that is not just a vehicle but an open invitation to push yourself a little further every time.
