Collection: Specialized Crux 5 - the lightest, most aerodynamic gravel bike is here!

Unbound Winner Sofía Gómez Villafañe’s Time to Finish at Unbound would be 9:58 faster on the Crux 5.

Aero Gains Breakdown: Frame, fork & seatpost: 50%. Roval Terra Aero wheels: 30%. Roval Terra cockpit: 20%.

Win Tunnel testing incorporates our 6th Gen Moving Leg Mannequin to capture how a rider’s full body in motion alters airflow across the bike at race-relevant speeds.

Run up to 55mm / 2.2" tyres with no compromises. Paired with the all-new Roval Terra Aero CLX wheels, increasing tyre size can dramatically improve rolling resistance, traction, and comfort—with no aero penalty. In fact, a 50 mm Tracer tyre on a Terra Aero CLX wheel has the same drag as a 45 mm Tracer on a Terra CLX II wheel.

Subtle geo changes deliver more speed and more confidence with 0.5° slacker head angle, lower bottom bracket height of 'in the bike feel' and 0.5° steeper seat tube angle for more efficient power trasmission.

By optimizing shape instead of adding material, Crux 5 eliminated unnecessary carbon layers for better ride quality AND structural integrity. The 789 gram FACT 12r frame withstands over 100,000 cycles at 2,377 watts - far beyond industry standards.
