Specialized Crux 5 S-level Carbon Gravel Bike

About this bike

Eat My Dust The Crux 5 S-Level was born from the fastest gravel race bike ever made. Not just because it’s the lightest. Not just because it’s our most aero. Not just because it handles dirt like a Tarmac handles pavement. But because it delivers the lowest real-world Time to Finish of any gravel bike ever made. Crux 5 turns more of your effort into pure speed—validated across real race courses real terrain and real riders. When the goal is the top step nothing in gravel gets you there faster. At a Glance Use - Gravel Racing Frame - FACT 10r Carbon: 897 grams Wheels - Roval Terra Aero CL Bar and Stem - Roval Terra Integrated Drivetrain - SRAM RED XPLR Weight - 7.7 kg 9:58 Faster Over Unbound Unbound Winner Sofía Gómez Villafañe’s Time to Finish at Unbound would be 9:58 faster on the Crux 5. So what happens when we run the Equation of Speed with: 15.2 watts less aerodynamic drag A 789 gram frame 56cm S-Works 6.9 kg system weight Hyper-accurate surface telemetry Elite rider power profiles 9:58 saved. Racing the 2025 Unbound on a 2026 Crux 5 would save Sofía Gómez Villafañe over 9:58—purely through equipment efficiency. This level of simulation may be unique in cycling but not in other elite sport. Both Formula 1 and America’s Cup sailing utilize simulation extensively to benchmark and refine performance. Hyper-accurate simulation has been one of the key reasons both of these sports have seen such massive leaps in performance. The Equation of Speed Just like the Tarmac before i…
