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.

This Crux Comp comes spec'd with a reliable and smooth-shifting SRAM Rival 1 hydraulic disc groupset, tough DT G540 Disc wheels, and 2Bliss Ready, 700x38mm Pathfinder Pro tires that hookup over nasty terrain.

  • 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.

I love this bike

I bought this bike to replace my 2018 Crux. It is fast. I like how it handles better than the old Crux. I think the paint looks fantastic. I haven't hopped on my Epic Evo since I bought this bike 5 weeks ago cause I've been having so much fun riding an unlimited bike.

I love this bike best of all

I have owned a lot of bikes—some were duds, but I have loved most of them. I’ve been riding the Crux Comp for about four months now and I think this may end up being the bike I love best of all. Versatile and lively, it is only a little bit slower than my road bike, though the ride feels just as fast. But the reason I love it so much is that I find myself taking off-road detours on a whim—down alleys, across grassy fields, following dirt roads, whenever I feel like it. This is how I used to ride a bike when I was a kid. I had forgotten how much fun that can be.
