Specialized Crux Cyclocross Bike: The World's Lightest Gravel Bike

Specialized made the Crux Cyclocross Bike, the lightest gravel bike in the world, even lighter. With unmatched massive tyre clearance and performance gravel geometry, it stands as the pinnacle of gravel performance, a one-way ticket to gravel enlightenment.

Featuring UDH and the all-new SRAM RED XPLR, the S-Works Crux sheds an additional 102g. Equipped with Roval Terra CLX II wheels, Terra Bars, Alpinist seat post, S-Works Power Saddle with Mirror, and Pathfinder Pro tyres, this premium build of the S-Works Crux with SRAM RED XPLR sets a new standard.

Lightest Frame: 725g S-Works 12r

Leveraging the breakthroughs that made the Aethos the lightest bike ever, the Crux now climbs effortlessly, glides over rugged terrain, and weighs less than a full water bottle.

Massive Tyre Clearance: 47c/650b x 2.1”

With Diverge-level tyre clearance, the Crux offers unparalleled capability, taking you to any destination at full speed.

Responsive Geometry

Designed with nimble, supple, and reactive performance in mind, the Crux's race-influenced fit ensures responsiveness at the pedals and comfort in the saddle.

Equipped with UDH and SRAM RED XPLR

Now featuring a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) and built with the new SRAM RED XPLR, it boasts a 13-speed 10-46 cassette, power meter, updated lever ergonomics, and brake calipers that reduce brake effort by up to 80%.

SRAM RED XPLR AXS: Ultimate Gravel Drivetrain

Effortless Resilience and Precision. The SRAM RED XPLR AXS is designed for the ultimate gravel experience: resilient, precise, light, and fast.

Full Mount Resilience

Attaching to frames with the UDH interface, the Full Mount RED XPLR AXS rear derailleur ensures a precise fit and superior impact resistance, eliminating the need for a hanger.

Full Mount Precision

Offering fast, precise shifting with simple setup, the Full Mount derailleur removes hanger variances, providing perfect shifting without adjustment screws.

The new Specialized Crux Cyclocross Bike, equipped with SRAM RED XPLR AXS, is the epitome of gravel bike innovation, promising unparalleled performance and resilience.
