Specialized Crux Comp Gravel Bike 2023
The Crux stands out as the world's lightest gravel bike, combining unparalleled lightweight construction with massive tire clearance and performance-oriented gravel geometry. It's not just a bike; it's your gateway to an elevated gravel riding experience. The Crux Comp model is equipped with a reliable SRAM Rival 1 hydraulic disc groupset, durable DT G540 Disc wheels, and grippy 700x38mm Pathfinder Pro tires, ensuring a smooth and confident ride over challenging terrain.
Its lightweight design, featuring 725g S-Works 12r and 825g 10r frames, incorporates groundbreaking Aethos innovations, resulting in a gravel bike that effortlessly conquers climbs and effortlessly glides over rough terrain, all while weighing less than a full water bottle in your cage. With its impressive 47c/650b x 2.1" tire clearance, the Crux delivers exceptional capability, comparable to the Diverge, enabling you to explore a wide range of terrains at full throttle. The Crux's nimble, supple, and responsive characteristics, along with a performance gravel geometry inspired by its rich history in 'cross racing, make it an ideal choice for those seeking an unparalleled gravel riding experience.
