SPECIALIZED CRUX EXPERT

The Specialized Crux Expert embodies the essence of gravel performance: a bike designed to be incredibly light, fast, and capable on any terrain. With the world's lightest frame in the gravel category, generous tire clearance, and a performance-oriented geometry, the Crux is ready for races, long adventures, and technical trails.

This Expert version is equipped with the SRAM Rival eTap AXS electronic groupset with hydraulic disc brakes, Roval Terra C carbon wheels, and Specialized Pathfinder Pro 700x38 mm tubeless-ready tires, for a perfect combination of speed, control, and reliability.

Lightness without compromise
The FACT 10r frame, weighing a mere 825 grams, draws direct inspiration from the Aethos, Specialized's lightest bike. The result is a gravel bike that accelerates and climbs with ease, handles challenging terrain naturally, and maintains an extremely low overall weight.

Capability on every terrain
The Crux accommodates tires up to 47 mm with 700c wheels or 2.1” with 650b wheels. This means greater traction, comfort, and control, allowing you to explore any path, from gravel roads to the most technical trails.

Responsive and comfortable
The performance gravel geometry, derived from the Crux's extensive cyclocross experience, ensures a ready and responsive ride under load, without sacrificing comfort over long distances. It is a bike designed to push hard on the pedals and remain stable and precise even on the most challenging terrain.
