Specialized Crux 5 S-Works 12R Frameset Description:

The Specialized Crux 5 S-Works 12R Frameset incorporates valued lessons learned over the course of Specialized’s development within the field of gravel, and infuses winning aerodynamic design reserved previously for elite road frames for an ultra-competitive edge. Aerodynamic breakthroughs led to the development of Specialized’s “Speed-Sniffer” when shaping the Tarmac line, achieving countless accolades on road courses. This same aerodynamic philosophy, in turn, inspired the updated shape of every one of Crux 5’s frame tubes, elongating each tube for a wind-friendly shape that cuts through the wind, saving watts, and shedding grams. The pursuit of speed through aerodynamics is not without a similar effort to supply next-level ride quality; Specialized programmed Crux 5 with a carbon layup that instills better structural integrity for compliant behaviour under load, increased response, and a lower overall weight. Rider-first engineering finds each frame in Crux 5’s size range with a carbon layup specific to its size, leading to a consistent level of compliance, handling, and stiffness across all sizes for unparalleled performance. Wider tire clearance for up to 55mm tires (2.2″) means riders can embark on even the most challenging of gravel courses with an optimal tire selection, leading to increases in handling and rolling performance.

Features:

• Carbon fiber aerodynamic gravel race bike frame
• FACT 12r carbon fiber frame weighs a minuscule 789g, the lightest production gravel frame produced by Specialized
• Aerodynamic frame profiling applied to all tube shapes reduces drag, providing a real-world advantage in competition
• Race Tuned Progressive Geometry equips riders with confidence-inspiring fit marked with a balance of stability and clearance
• Crux 5 brings unparalleled ride quality, defined by superior handling, a balanced level of compliance, and instantaneous acceleration
• Up to 55mm (2.2″) tire clearance, unlocks access to wider gravel selection, leading to options with lower rolling resistance and increased handling
• S-Works Tarmac seatpost establishes a stiff, compliant basis for cockpits, upholding frame performance and keeping weight to a minimum
