Specialized Crux 5 S-Level (2027)

Specialized Crux 5 S-Works is born from the platform of the fastest race gravel bike ever created. It’s not just the lightest, it’s not just the most aerodynamic: it’s the bike that turns every watt into real speed on the terrain, reducing your Time to Finish like no other gravel bike.

Directly derived from race experience, the Crux 5 dominates dirt roads, white roads and technical sections with the same confidence with which a Tarmac carves up the tarmac. The ultra-light carbon frame, racing setup and balanced geometry allow you to push hard on the flats, accelerate on climbs and maintain absolute control on descents.

Tested on real courses, real terrain and with real riders , the Crux 5 is designed for those aiming for the podium in gravel races, but also for advanced enthusiasts looking for a high-performance, responsive, do-it-all bike. If your goal is to finish ahead, no other competition gravel bike gets you to the finish line faster than the Specialized Crux 5.
