SPECIALIZED CRUX 5 COMP

The Specialized Crux 5 is designed for those who demand the ultimate in gravel racing. Born from the platform of the fastest gravel race bike ever made, it combines extreme lightness, aerodynamic efficiency, and a riding dynamic reminiscent of a high-performance road bike.

The FACT 10r carbon frame, weighing just 897 grams, delivers an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, providing instant acceleration, precise handling, and great comfort over long distances. The Rider First Engineered™ geometry maintains the same dynamic behavior across all sizes, making the Crux an extremely balanced and responsive bike.

The build features a SRAM Rival AXS XPLR 13-speed electronic drivetrain for quick, precise shifts, while the 10-46T cassette offers a wide gear range for tackling challenging climbs and fast sections. SRAM Rival E1 hydraulic brakes complete a modern, reliable drivetrain designed for gravel racing.

The DT Swiss G500 Tubeless Ready wheels, paired with Specialized Pathfinder 700x45 tires, ensure high rolling efficiency, stability, and traction on any surface.

With a claimed weight of just 8.89 kg, the Specialized Crux 5 represents one of the best gravel racing bikes for those seeking top-level performance, wireless technology, and maximum efficiency.
