Product Details

Add Icon
The Crux is the lightest gravel bike in the world, with the exceptional capability of massive tire clearance and performance gravel geometry. It’s not just the ultimate expression of gravel performance, it’s your one-way ticket to gravel enlightenment.
  • Lightest: 725g S-Works 12r and 825g 10r frames. We took the revolutionary breakthroughs that made Aethos the lightest bike ever and applied them to the Crux. The result? A gravel bike that climbs like a dream, floats over nightmarish terrain, and weighs less than a full bottle in your cage.
  • Capable: 47c/650b x 2.1” tire clearance. More clearance means more capability. With Diverge-level tire clearance, Crux takes you anywhere you can imagine, at full gas.
  • Responsive: Nimble, supple, and reactive. Responsive at the pedals. Supple in the saddle. With performance gravel geometry and race-influenced fit inspired by Crux’s iconic history in ‘cross.

Agree with Sean above^^^

Versatile and responsive for road and gravel. Consider a larger chainring for road. I put a 46T up front and find the 10-44T cassette fine for 10% short climbs.

BEST BIKE EVER!!

I've ridden quite a few bikes over the years and though not a fan of bike stable reduction this bike is one that "crosses" over into all kinds of categories, CX/Gravel/Fat Road/Underbiked MTB and does well in all categories in my opinion. If you only want one bike or only want to spend the "good" money on one bike I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Crux! Pro Tip, purchase another set of wheels for quick and easy changes for riding type. I have one setup for Road Mode and the other ready for a Gravel whip.
