Specialized S-Works Crux Gravel 91423-0158

Specialized S-Works Crux Gravel Bike Claimed to be the fastest Gravel Bike currently on the market, the Specialized S-Works Crux is in a class of its own when it comes to weight, tyre clearance and capability. Labelled as the ultimate expression of gravel performance, this latest revision of the Crux channels the Aethos design process to drop the frame weight down to just 725 grams for this FACT 12r carbon model. The nimble geometry is inspired by the Crux’s cyclocross race heritage and sees a long reach paired with a reduced stack height to deliver fast, reactive handling.  Equipped with Roval Terra CLX Disc wheels and 38c Specialized Pathfinder Pro tyres, this bike rolls fast, grips well and reacts quickly to inputs of power, and the tubeless-ready rims allow the rider to take advantage of lower air pressures. There's a maximum clearance of 47c, or 2.1” when paired with the smaller 650b wheel standard. This enhances the frame’s capability, ensuring versatility for a range of ride styles and terrains. The carbon layup is highly responsive yet delivers fatigue-reducing vibration-damping suitable for comfort over long distances.  SRAM's flagship electronic groupset, RED eTap AXS delivers state of the art wireless shifting across its wide 12-speed range and can be customised through the accompanying SRAM mobile app to personalise your shifting experience.
