The 2022 Specialized Crux Expert Gravel Bike is the lightest gravel bike in the world, with the exceptional capability of massive tire clearance and performance gravel geometry. It’s not just the ultimate expression of gravel performance, it’s your one-way ticket to gravel enlightenment.

What makes the Crux define a new category of dirt-perfect gravel machines? Its ability to handle anything that you can throw at it, thanks to the 700 x 47c/650b x2.1” tire clearance. The Crux doesn’t employ a solid beam chainstay or the swopping, vulnerable dropped stays some other platforms resort to for tire clearance. The Crux’s straight-shot, hollow drive-side chainstay allows Specialized to keep the whole package light, elegant, and focused around the 1x and gravel 2x cranksets that have elevated the category. Tire choice then becomes the final piece of this puzzle, the ultimate way to adjust and fine-tune the riding experience depending on where, how, and over what surfaces you ride.

The Performance Gravel Geometry creates the feeling of being in the bike for incredible confidence while still feeling quick and nimble at the bars. The 10mm longer reach allows for ideal weight distribution, eliminates toe overlap, and uses a shorter stem for more responsive steering. The low stack reinforces optimal weight distribution and is ideal for an aggressive fit. While the 72mm bottom bracket drop is the sweet spot to create a low and confident feel while ensuring the bike remains nimble for quick line adjustments and tight, fast tracks.
This Crux Expert comes spec'd with an intuitive and crisp-shifting SRAM Rival eTap AXS hydraulic disc groupset, incredibly tough Roval Terra C Disc wheels, and 2Bliss Ready, 700x38mm Pathfinder Pro tires that hookup over nasty terrain.

Lightest: 825g 10r frame! Specialized took the revolutionary breakthroughs that made Aethos the lightest bike ever and applied them to the Crux. The result? A gravel bike that climbs like a dream, floats over nightmarish terrain, and weighs less than a full bottle in your cage.
Capable: 47c/650b x 2.1” tire clearance. More clearance means more capability. With Diverge-level tire clearance, Crux takes you anywhere you can imagine, at full gas.
Responsive: Nimble, supple, and reactive. Responsive at the pedals. Supple in the saddle. With performance gravel geometry and race-influenced fit inspired by Crux’s iconic history in ‘cross.
