SPECIALIZED CRUX 5 EXPERT

The Specialized Crux 5 Expert is designed for gravel racing and combines lightness, efficiency, and speed on dirt in a platform built for those seeking top performance even in competitions.

The FACT 10r carbon frame weighs just 897 grams and is developed according to the Rider First Engineered™ principles, with geometries and features designed to deliver consistent response across all sizes. The threaded bottom bracket and UDH derailleur hanger complete a modern, practical, performance-oriented platform.

The 13-speed SRAM Force AXS XPLR electronic drivetrain delivers fast, precise shifting, with a 40-tooth single-chainring setup and 10-46T cassette for a wide gear range without sacrificing the simplicity of the 1x system.

The Roval Terra C III wheels use Tubeless Ready carbon rims with a 27 mm internal channel, paired with DT 370 hubs and Sapim D-Light spokes. The Specialized Pathfinder 45 mm tires complete a setup designed to deliver speed, comfort, and control on mixed surfaces.

The cockpit combines the Roval Terra carbon handlebar with the Roval Rapide stem, while the S-Works Tarmac SL8 carbon seatpost helps keep overall weight down.
