The Specialized Crux Pro with SRAM Force XPLR AXS E1 is a purpose-built machine for gravel riders who demand top-tier performance, lightweight efficiency, and exceptional versatility. Born from the same design philosophy that made the Aethos the lightest road bike ever, the Crux takes those breakthrough engineering concepts and applies them to the gravel world. With a FACT 10r carbon frame weighing just 825 grams, the Crux Pro offers road-bike climbing agility in a gravel-specific platform, making it one of the lightest and most responsive gravel bikes available.

This build is equipped with the all-new SRAM Force XPLR AXS E1 wireless groupset, featuring 13 speeds and a wide 10-46t cassette for seamless gear transitions across steep climbs and fast descents. The integrated power meter crankset adds precise training capability, while the Force E1 hydraulic disc brakes ensure confident stopping power regardless of terrain or conditions. The drivetrain is clean, intuitive, and built to handle rugged adventures without compromise.

Capable of clearing up to a 47c tire or 650b x 2.1", the Crux Pro doesn’t just ride light—it rides anywhere. With performance geometry inspired by its cyclocross heritage and a race-ready fit, the Crux feels nimble at the pedals and smooth in the saddle. The Roval Terra CL wheels, with a 25mm internal width and 32mm depth, are paired with 700x40mm Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss Ready tires, delivering outstanding traction, speed, and comfort over mixed and technical terrain.

The cockpit features Roval Terra carbon handlebars with a 12° flare for better control, a Power Pro Mirror saddle for pressure-relieving comfort, and a Terra carbon seatpost with a 20mm offset for optimal support and flex. At just 7.64 kg (size 56), the Specialized Crux Pro is the ultimate lightweight gravel platform—engineered to climb faster, float smoother, and go further on every off-road pursuit.
