The Crux DSW is more than the lightest alloy gravel bike ever made, nimble, balanced, and responsive for fast, fun, high-performance riding.
Lightest Weight
At just 1399 grams*, the Crux DSW is the lightest alloy gravel frame in the world. Combine that with the Fact12r Crux carbon fork and a build curated for performance, and a complete Crux DSW tips the scales at 9.37kg—no alloy gravel bike can compete.
Most Capable
More clearance means more capability - that’s why the Crux DSW has the same tire clearance as its carbon sibling - 47mm and up to 2.1” on a 650b wheel. Combine this with the tough and light alloy frame, and Crux DSW can take you anywhere you imagine at full gas.
Ultra-Responsive
Responsive at the pedals. Supple in the saddle. Specialized used D’Aluisio Smartweld to fine-tune the properties of alloy to deliver a ride previously impossible without carbon and combine it with the same performance gravel geometry and race-influenced fit as the carbon Crux. A longer reach delivers better weight distribution for quick, confident handling, while a lower stack creates a performance first position. At 72mm of bottom-bracket drop, Specialized hit the sweet spot between nimble and stable.
