SPECIALIZED S-WORKS CRUX 5 SRAM RED XPLR

The new Specialized S-Works Crux 5 represents the ultimate evolution of modern gravel racing. Designed to deliver maximum speed on dirt, it combines extreme lightness, advanced aerodynamics, and a riding dynamic derived directly from the Tarmac SL8. It is not just a lightweight gravel bike: it is a true racing machine developed to concretely lower lap times on the course.

With a FACT 12r frame weighing just 789 grams and a total weight of only 7.1 kg, the S-Works Crux 5 is among the lightest and most high-performance gravel bikes ever produced by Specialized. Every detail has been designed to transform the rider's power into real speed, both in accelerations and in long, fast sections on dirt.

The new Roval Terra Aero CLX wheels introduce a completely new concept in the gravel world: deep aerodynamic profiles of 50/45 mm combined with a 27 mm internal width, offering smoothness, stability, and maximum efficiency at high speeds.

The SRAM RED XPLR E1 13-speed transmission with Quarq powermeter ensures precise wireless shifting, perfect gear ratios for modern gravel racing, and integrated power measurement for high-level training and competition.

The integrated Roval Terra cockpit improves aerodynamics, stiffness, and aesthetic cleanliness, while the S-Works Power saddle with Mirror technology ensures comfort even on the longest and most demanding rides.
