S-Works Crux 5 Sram Red AXS XPLR E1 13s Roval Terra Aero CLX

The Specialized S-Works Crux 5 is a gravel race bike designed with one clear goal: getting to the finish line faster. Every detail has been developed to reduce total time on the fastest gravel courses, turning rider effort into measurable speed. The S-Works Crux 5 FACT 12r Carbon frame combines low weight, aerodynamics and ride comfort, with Rider First Engineered technology across every size, from 49 to 61 cm.

The result is a responsive and stable bike. Crux 5 is the most aerodynamic gravel model Specialized has ever made: frame, fork and seatpost contribute to speed gains, supported by Roval Terra Aero CLX wheels and the integrated Roval Terra Cockpit. This speed system works to reduce drag and keep efficiency high when the pace rises, from long fast sectors to decisive race moments.

The SRAM RED AXS XPLR E1 13-speed drivetrain with a 10-46t cassette delivers fast, precise shifting and an ideal range for mixed terrain. The SRAM RED XPLR crankset with 40t chainring and Quarq power meter helps manage every effort with accuracy, while the Ceramic Speed BB Alpha bottom bracket adds smoothness and efficiency. SRAM RED E1 hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful, controlled braking when conditions get technical.

Roval Terra Aero CLX tubeless-ready wheels, with 27 mm internal width, 50 mm front depth and 45 mm rear depth, are paired with Pathfinder 700x45 tubeless-ready tires for speed, traction and comfort. Tire clearance up to 55 mm makes the bike ready for rougher courses without sacrificing performance. The build is completed with an S-Works Power with Mirror saddle, S-Works Tarmac SL8 FACT Carbon seatpost, Supacaz Super Sticky Kush bar tape and an integrated wedge seat collar.

Light, aero, comfortable and brutally fast, the S-Works Crux 5 is made for riders who want every advantage on gravel. From elite racing to high-speed events, it delivers World Tour-inspired speed, confident handling and the efficiency needed to stay strong all the way to the finish.
