Specialized Crux Expert Gloss White Speckled/Dove Grey/Papaya/Clay/Lime

The Specialized Crux is the lightest gravel bike we've ever developed. It has exceptionally large tire clearance and an extremely sporty gravel geometry. It's not just the ultimate expression of gravel performance, it's your ticket to the world of professional gravel sports.

The Specialized Crux Expert comes with the precise and fast-shifting SRAM Force eTap AXS group with hydraulic disc brakes, light and robust Roval Terra CL Disc wheels and 2Bliss Ready Pathfinder Pro tires (700x38 mm) that grip nasty terrain."

Geometry:
Direct handling:The Crux is light, playful and direct. Its iconic history in cyclocross has influenced the performance-focused gravel geometry and the riding position optimized for competition.

Frame:
Crux FACT 10r carbon frame: "Functionally Advanced Composite Technology"; the higher the value, the more complex the production process and the lighter the fork, but also more expensive

Rider-First Engineered™:
In order to achieve the same performance parameters for each frame size, each frame size must be developed independently and based on the load values ​​assumed by the respective rider. This also means that for each frame size, all tube dimensions and the entire fiber layout are selected based on the data obtained. And what does this mean for you? Regardless of whether you ride a 61 cm or 49 cm frame, Specialized guarantees you absolute performance and safe control of your bike in demanding conditions. Because ultimately it's just a bike... yours. That's Rider-First Engineered™.

Extra light:
825 g FACT 10r carbon frame. Specialized has taken the knowledge gained from developing the Aethos frame and applied it to the Crux. The result? A gravel bike that climbs like a dream, flies over rough terrain and weighs less than your full water bottle.

Versatile:
The Crux has 2.1 inches or 53 mm tire clearance with a 47C or 650B wheel size. More tire clearance means more options. Just like our Diverge, the Crux will take you anywhere, at full throttle.
