Specialized Crux DSW Frameset

Smartweld technology moves the weld joints away from the areas of highest stress, allowing for thinner, lighter tubing without sacrificing structural integrity. This process results in a frame that is significantly lighter than traditional alloy builds while maintaining the stiffness needed for high-performance riding.

The Crux DSW shares the exact same performance geometry as the carbon S-Works Crux. You get the same agile, race-ready handling and responsive ride quality, just in a more durable alloy package.

You have plenty of room for varied terrain. The frame accommodates tires up to 47mm on 700c wheels or 2.1 inches if you choose to run 650b wheels.

Yes, it features a threaded bottom bracket. This is a preferred choice for many riders because it is reliable, easy to service, and generally quieter than press-fit alternatives.

Yes, the frameset comes with the S-Works FACT carbon fork. This high-end fork helps dampen road vibration and keeps the front end weight low, complementing the alloy frame's performance.

The frame utilizes the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard. This is a great feature for future-proofing, as it simplifies finding replacement hangers and ensures compatibility with a wide range of drivetrain components.
