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 Pro comes spec'd with a accurate and quick-shifting SRAM Force 1 eTap AXS hydraulic disc groupset, lightweight and durable Roval Terra CL 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.

Super lite I’ve ridden this

Super lite I’ve ridden this bike on gravel, single track and on the road. Wireless shifting is awesome smooth and quiet.

I’ve only heard great reviews

I’ve only heard great reviews of the Crux and it is living up to its reputation. I am changing over from a 2022 Diverge. It was a great bike but not nearly the responsive ride I am getting from the Crux. Very comfortable, stable and jumps when putting power into the peddles!

Bliss

This bike is amazing. Extraordinary capable, light and fast. Loads of fun on singletracks, grinds easily on gravel and surprisingly fast on tarmac. The geometry is superb. Although it's nicely direct it is also comfy. Full day riding is no problem at all. AXS is so much ease of use and the Roval components are great. The shallow slightly flare handlebar is just right and the wheels with pathfinders are capable, strong and fast. Never want a bike w/o a one-by anymore. Will put on a smaller chainring for the alps. This bike is a blast. One of my the best bike buy's ever.

Perfect for everything

Perfect lightweight and lively option for off-road and road adventures. I set it up with a 2X in the front for this reason and have no need for both a road and gravel bike now. Switched to this bike from an OPEN UPPER and I can safely say Specialized now owns this spot for top gravel bike in my book!

Would Recommend?

I recommend this bike

Love the bike, extremely light and very controllable and can whip it around. I'm a light guy at 120 pounds. This bike is great overall for gravel and some road. I have pathfinders on it and they are also great all around tires for gravel and road in DuPont State Forest

Would Recommend?
Yes!
