2017 Specialized S-Works CruX

Overview

About this bike

With multiple Cyclocross World Championships to its name, Specialized's S-Works CruX has more than proven itself in the incredibly demanding, lung-searing race discipline of cyclocross. The Crux is the a pure CX weapon and features a top-of-the-line S-Works FACT 11r carbon frame, along with the carbon fork, which boasts a tapered steerer for precision handling. What's more, the CruX utilizes an oversize bottom bracket for unreal power transfer and outstanding pedaling efficiency. Just like the impeccable frameset, nothing was held back on the drivetrain, which features a top-of-the-line Shimano Dura-Ace groupset for crisp shifting as you power up fan-lined hills, while Shimano hydraulic disc brakes give you complete control over your speed down even the steepest, gnarliest sections. An S-Works carbon crank, lightweight Roval carbon wheels, and Specialized's radical, terrain-smoothing CG-R seatpost round out the build on this machine. Just be ready to hold on, because the S-Works CruX has just one speed—flat out.
