Specialized Crux Expert

It is designed to excel at both. While the Crux has deep roots in cyclocross racing, its geometry and lightweight frame make it incredibly capable for fast gravel riding, offering a responsive, race-inspired feel that handles mixed terrain with ease.

The frame offers generous clearance, accommodating tires up to 700x47mm or 650bx2.1 inches. This allows you to easily swap between slick tires for pavement and knobby rubber for technical off-road sections.

The electronic shifting provides precise, consistent gear changes regardless of mud, grit, or weather conditions. It eliminates cable stretch and requires less maintenance than mechanical systems, ensuring reliable performance during long rides.

At 7.95 kg, the Crux Expert is exceptionally light for a gravel bike. This low weight makes it feel lively and efficient on steep climbs, mimicking the agility of a dedicated road bike.

Yes, the Roval Terra C carbon wheels and included tires are tubeless-ready. We recommend setting them up tubeless before your first ride to take full advantage of the lower tire pressures and puncture protection required for gravel terrain.

While the frame is stiff and responsive for speed, the carbon layup is designed to dampen road vibration. It is efficient enough for racing, but compliant enough to keep you comfortable during long days in the saddle.
