Specialized Crux Expert Gravel Bike (Carbon/Nebula Metallic) (52cm) (Shimano GRX Di2)

Specialized Crux Expert Gravel Bike Description:

The Specialized Crux Expert Gravel Bike combines lessons learned through years of material and biomechanical research to craft a machine that will take a riders confidence and capabilities to new heights. A Comp 10r FACT carbon frame uses advanced carbon fiber construction techniques to remove redundant materials to produce a frame with an optimal balance of compliance, durability, and stiffness, all at a weight previously only found on pure road bikes. A performance gravel geometry gives this bike a balanced ride with lively and nimble handling for fast rides on hard surfaces and plenty of stability to confidently tackle high speed downhills and technical trails. Tire clearance has been boosted without compromising the balance of the bike, with generous clearance for 27.5″/650b X 2.1″ or 700c X 47mm tires. Rounding out this complete and capable bike is a Shimano GRX Di2 electronic 1 x 12-speed drivetrain, powerful Shimano flat-mount hydraulic disc brakes, durable Roval Terra C tubeless ready wheels, and ergonomic Body Geometry touch points developed through nearly 30 years of exhaustive anatomical research. Add everything up and the Specialized Crux Expert Gravel Bike will deliver the comfort, durability, and performance a rider needs to go longer and harder than they ever have before.

Features:

• A nimble, responsive, and smooth riding gravel bike developed through Specialized’s extensive anatomical, design, material, and racing expertise
• FACT 10r carbon fiber frame uses materials and construction techniques originally developed for the Aethos road bike to craft a durable frame that tips the scale at only 825g, which is lighter than an insulated water bottle filled with 24 fluid ounces of water
• Full carbon FACT fork has thru-axle drop outs and a tapered steerer tube for pin-point handling and high speed stability
• Frame and fork have enough tire clearance to accept 700 x 47mm or 650b x 2.1″ tires (depending on rim and tire combination)
• Shimano GRX 800 series Di2 1×12-speed wireless electronic drivetrain delivers incredibly fast, precise, and reliable shifting
• Dual control brake/shift levers are adjustable to provide a better fit and comfort for a wide range of hand sizes
• Hydraulic flat mount disc calipers are very easy to modulate and have robust stopping power in any trail and/or weather conditions
• Roval Terra C tubeless ready carbon wheels shod in Pathfinder 700x40mm wide tires are stiff and strong, have low rolling resistance, and will deliver very snappy acceleration
• Body Geometry Power Expert saddle delivers excellent sit-bone support, numbness prevention, and comfort
• Supacaz bar tape adds a stylish hint of premium comfort to handlebars
