I purchased the bike for the blue frame as it is only 100g heavier than the Sworks frame set. Sram rival power axs 2x, Terra carbon bars, cinelli carbon stem and finish kit, specialized mimic carbon rails power saddle and CLXII, Mondo 35mm. Coming in at 7.9kg for a 54cm its fast snappy agile and does anything, Incredible bike. Road, Hill TT, Gravel, CX this really is the Only bike you need. Lots of youtube videos showing why the CRUX is the only bike you will ever need.

First gravel bike, and as many said I can see myself grabbing a road wheelset to do some more dedicated road riding. Very capable and adaptive on gravel, felt great on climbs and across some looser terrain. Big fan.

The ultimate “Dual Sport” bicycle, with two different wheelsets, the Crux serves as a road and gravel bike for me. Crux Framesets weren’t in stock so I bought the Comp level build and swapped components over to SRAM RED AXS. The full build in “gravel mode” with Roval Terra CL’s and Continental Terra Speed 40’s is at 16.9 lbs and under 16.0lbs when in “road mode”. The Crux checks all the right boxes for me.

I use the 2022 Crux for both road and gravel - and have two wheelsets for it. One word: Perfect. - R

I angonised for months looking for a new bike I know I wanted something simple without proprietary parts, a threaded BB. I looked as several other brands but the frame design and shape just kept bringing me back. I purchased this and brought Terra C wheelset at the same time, wanted a expert but were not in stock so upgraded to Rival axs etap. I am excited to ride the bike when ever I can its so playful it climbs fast and holds speed so we'll also so very quiet. I read a review here where he said "life is too short to ride anything else" and he was right.

It took me two years to decide to purchase a gravel bike. I am glad I did, and I am glad this is the one I chose. Rides like a dream. My old rim-brake, 2010 Specialized Ruby has now been turned into a dedicated hill climbing bike, and the Crux is my everyday, good for everything else.

I bought a Crux Comp and stripped it down. (selling the unwanted components for a good price) Upgraded the following: - Bars: (Roval Terra carbon) - Stem: (S-Works SL alloy) - Drivetrain: (Force 11 cranks (40t), DUB BSA 68 bb, and Force mechanical rear derailleur) - Wheels: (Roval Terra CLs). This thing is sweet; rides like Spez Pro Crux (w/o a battery) while costing substantially less. I set up the bike with DMR magnesium flat pedals (commuting) but have a set of CB eggbeater 11's for gravel. One major problem: I also own an Aethos S-Works (Red AXS); choosing which one I want to ride is the hardest part of my day! :)

Oh boy this thing is perfect. Swapped out the bars and slapped on some Roval Terra CLs and bingo, dream machine. I'll ride this forever. Get it if ya can, life's too short to ride less.

Have been looking for Crux comp for few years and finally was able to locate and buy one. Bike meets all the expectations, Specialized never disappoints. Tested on pavement, gravel and single track, bike performs quite well.

Seems to be a great bike. Since I had to order without my bike retailers expertise, turns out it’s a bit too big so now I need to wait until Specialized has to smaller parts in stock. Maybe one day I’ll get to ride it. For now, all I can do is just admire its sparkling newness.
