Specialized CruX Comp

The frame is designed with generous clearance, accommodating tires up to 700x47c or 650b x 2.1 inches. This allows you to swap between fast-rolling road tires and wider, knobby rubber for technical gravel.

While it features a nimble, reactive geometry inspired by cyclocross, it is not a mountain bike. It excels on gravel roads and fire trails, offering a lightweight, responsive feel that is much faster on hardpack than a mountain bike, though it lacks the suspension travel required for aggressive singletrack.

Yes, the SRAM Rival 1x drivetrain is paired with an 11-42t cassette, providing a wide gear range that is well-suited for most gravel climbing. The single chainring setup simplifies shifting and reduces mechanical complexity, which is ideal for off-road riding.

The FACT 10r carbon frame is engineered to be supple, meaning it effectively absorbs road chatter and vibrations. Combined with the Roval Terra carbon seatpost, the bike is designed to keep you comfortable during long days in the saddle.

The SRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakes offer consistent, powerful stopping performance regardless of the weather. They provide excellent modulation, giving you more control when descending on loose gravel or navigating wet, muddy paths.
