The Specialized Crux is the cyclocrosser by Specialized. In addition to the standard models, there is also a S Works model. S-Works stands for top-class sport and upscale equipment. The S-Works Crux, for example, comes with one Shimano Dura Ace equipment therefore. Absolute top class. With the new development of CruX the engineers at Specialized didn't want to design another touring bike with additional tire clearance, but a fast, lightweight, reliable and thoroughbred racing bullet. For the first time, the Crux comes with our exclusive Rider-First Engineered ™ design principle to use.
The S-Works CruX already has various World title secreted and his cyclocross-Sufficient proof of suitability. That's why our developers have redesigned the FACT carbon chassis for even more performance. Our exclusive Rider-First EngineeredTM construction principle is used for the first time in the CruX. The size-specific tubes and fiber assignments enable a weight reduction of approx. 400 g with a 56 frame compared to the predecessor
- and that without adversely affecting efficiency and handling. In addition, each frame size offers exactly the properties that the corresponding rider needs. This avoids too much or too little stiffness in certain zones. on top of that
The seat post clamp, which is two centimeters lower, allows more flexibility
in the seating area, as the seat post can "work" better. Not to be forgotten is the improved tire clearance in the chassis, so that even tires clogged with mud do not brake. The race-oriented geometry with a low bottom bracket and direct steering behavior predestines the CruX for technically demanding routes. Thanks to the spacious front frame triangle, the bike can be safely shouldered. The hand-picked components not only catapult the S-Works CruX to an exclusive top spot, they also reduce the weight and optimize efficiency, for example with the extra-stiff S-Works crank and the agile Roval CLX 50 system wheels.
- The ef cient S-Works frame made of FACT 11r carbon takes the ride quality to an even higher level thanks to the Rider-First EngineeredTM construction principle. The race-oriented geometry gives playful controllability, the 142 mm wide rear end with thru-axles underlines that the CruX is ahead of its time.
- The stiff FACT carbon disc fork with internal cable routing and thru-axle gives the CruX its direct, stable steering behavior.
- The Roval CLX 50 wheels developed in the Win Tunnel guarantee direct acceleration and outstanding handling. Despite the low weight of about 1415g, they are very stable, too tubeless-compatible for even more traction and increased puncture resistance.
