The Crux is the lightest gravel bike we have ever developed. It has exceptionally large tire clearance and an extremely sporty gravel geometry. It is not only the ultimate expression of gravel performance, but also your ticket to the gravel world.
The Crux Expert is equipped with the intuitive and crisply shifting Rival eTap AXS complete group from SRAM including hydraulic disc brakes, incredibly robust Terra C wheels from Roval and Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss Ready tires in 700 × 38 mm, which will take you quickly and safely through rough terrain.
- Extra light: The S-Works frame made of FACT 12r carbon weighs just 725 g, the normal frame made of FACT 10r carbon weighs 825 g. We achieved this by applying the revolutionary knowledge gained from developing the world's lightest road bike frame, the Aethos, to the Crux. The result? A gravel bike that climbs like a dream, flies over rough terrain and weighs less than the full water bottle in your bottle cage.
- Versatile: The Crux has 2.1" or 53 mm tire clearance with 47C or 650B wheel size. More tire clearance means more options. Just like our Diverge, the Crux takes you anywhere, at full speed.
- Direct handling: The Crux is light, playful and direct. Its iconic history in cyclocross has influenced the performance-focused gravel geometry and the riding position optimized for competition.
