Specialized Crux 5 Expert SRAM Force XPLR in Burnt Gold/Dolomite/Ob

Season:2027

Brand:Specialized

Code:42948305469837

The Crux 5 was born from the fastest gravel race bike ever made, delivering the lowest real-world Time to Finish of any gravel bike.

The Crux 5 turns effort into pure speed, validated across real race courses, real terrain, and real riders. When the goal is the top step, nothing in gravel gets you there faster. The Crux 5 is the most aerodynamic gravel race bike Specialized has ever made. Drawing directly from Tarmac SL8 learnings and decades of aero research, every tube on the Crux 5 was sculpted for speed at elite gravel race speeds.

Speed is about sustaining power and momentum deep into the race. The Crux 5 delivers telepathic handling, instantaneous acceleration, and balanced compliance that reduces fatigue on the roughest courses. Rider First Engineered and now with 55mm tire clearance for unmatched traction and comfort, it preserves the legendary ride feel of the Crux 4 while adding real aerodynamic performance.
