Specialized S-Works Crux - 2024, 56 cm

2024 Specialized S-Works Crux, Size 56 — Ultra-Light Carbon Gravel & Road Bike

The S-Works Crux is Specialized’s no-compromise race platform that blurs the line between gravel and road. Built from FACT 12R carbon, this bike tips the scales at an astonishing ~16 lb, making it one of the lightest gravel bikes ever produced. The geometry is fast, responsive, and efficient—perfect for high-speed gravel racing, mixed-surface fondos, or even slick-tire road duty when you want one bike to do it all.

This build runs a SRAM AXS 1x12 drivetrain with a wide-range 10–52 cassette and a 44T chainring, giving you massive gearing versatility for steep gravel climbs while still holding speed on pavement. SRAM hydraulic disc brakes deliver strong, consistent stopping power in all conditions. Shifting is crisp and wireless, keeping the cockpit clean and modern.

Rolling on Roval Terra carbon wheels with DT Swiss 350 hubs, the bike is fast, durable, and fully tubeless-ready, paired with Specialized Tracer 45C tires for confident traction and comfort on rough terrain. The cockpit features Roval Rapide Aero carbon handlebars (420mm) and a sleek one-piece 120mm stem, while the S-Works carbon seatpost and Specialized 3D-printed saddle add compliance and long-ride comfort without sacrificing performance. Size 56 fits riders approximately 5’10” to 6’2”. The bike is pre-owned, shows normal signs of use, and is fully checked—ready to ride.

Why we love it

The S-Works Crux is pure speed with zero excess—ridiculously light, brutally efficient, and unbelievably versatile. It feels like a road race bike on smooth surfaces and a weapon on fast gravel, especially with the wide-range SRAM AXS setup and Roval carbon wheels. Add the 3D-printed saddle and premium cockpit, and you get a bike that’s not just fast on paper but genuinely exciting every time you push the pedals.
