The Specialized S-Works CruX is fast, confident, lightweight, and rides like no other 'cross bike out there.
The Specialized CruX has proven itself in multiple Cyclocross World Championships, so this S-Works CruX takes the legacy to a whole new level.
The race ready 'cross geometry frame is constructed from lightweight, stiff and compliant, S-Works FACT Carbon. Specialized have implemented their Rider-First Engineered™ technology that was first introduced on their Tarmacs. This uses size-specific tubes and layups and allows the CruX to feature the same ride characteristics across every size in the range. This technology also allows for a drop in frame weight, the CruX now comes in around 900 grams for a 56cm (*dependent on frame size and colour), this is over 400 grams lighter than the previous frameset. In addition, the seat collar has been lowered by two centimetres, resulting in a more exposed seatpost and cushion for big hits.
The top tube has been designed for easy shouldering when you're hopping off to clear barriers, as it features a large opening to the front triangle and a flat bottom. For stability in the corners and on off-camber sections, the geometry has a low bottom bracket and a sharp front-end. This combination also helps to initiate corners, regardless of the terrain.
The Specialized S-Works CruX features maximum mud-shedding ability, extra clearance on all sides of the tires make the bike suitable for muddy conditions, and this S-Works model feature hydrophobic, mud-shedding paint that reduces the ability for mud to cling to the frame.
The S-Works CruX is also spec'd with the lightest components possible. This Cross bike features a 1x groupset with a mix of Shimano's Dura-Ace and XTR components, lightweight, aerodynamic, and mud-shedding Roval CLX 50 clincher disc wheels, and an S-Works carbon seatpost and handlebars. Cross courses are notorious for being cold, muddy, and rainy, so the S-Works CruX comes spec'd with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 shifters and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, ensuring confidence on every ride. In addition, the Win Tunnel Engineered Roval CLX 50 Disc carbon wheelset offers superior aerodynamics, is lightweight and has incredible mud-shedding-ability.
