The Crux is the lightest gravel bike in the world, with the exceptional capability of massive tire clearance and performance gravel geometry. It’s not just the ultimate expression of gravel performance, it’s your one-way ticket to gravel enlightenment.

This Crux Comp comes spec'd with a reliable and smooth-shifting Shimano GRX 12-speed groupset, tough DT G540 Disc wheels, and 2Bliss Ready, 700x38mm Pathfinder Pro tires that hookup over nasty terrain.

  • Lightest: 725g S-Works 12r and 825g 10r frames. We took the revolutionary breakthroughs that made Aethos the lightest bike ever and applied them to the Crux. The result? A gravel bike that climbs like a dream, floats over nightmarish terrain, and weighs less than a full bottle in your cage.

  • Capable: 47c/650b x 2.1” tire clearance. More clearance means more capability. With Diverge-level tire clearance, Crux takes you anywhere you can imagine, at full gas.

  • Responsive: Nimble, supple, and reactive. Responsive at the pedals. Supple in the saddle. With performance gravel geometry and race-influenced fit inspired by Crux’s iconic history in ‘cross.

Perfection

First, I bought this bike for user serviceability (e.g, no headset cable routing and threaded bottom bracket). I upgraded to Terra CL wheels and have raced crits with 31c road tires and CX with the stock tires. It’s very comfortable with the larger road tires and handles great on both pavement and dirt. It feels like an Aethos on the climbs! Buy it!

My One Bike

I angonised for months looking for a new bike I know I wanted something simple without proprietary parts, a threaded BB. I looked as several other brands but the frame design and shape just kept bringing me back. I purchased this and brought Terra C wheelset at the same time, wanted a expert but were not in stock so upgraded to Rival axs etap. I am excited to ride the bike when ever I can its so playful it climbs fast and holds speed so we'll also so very quiet. I read a review here where he said "life is too short to ride anything else" and he was right.

First gravel bike, and as

First gravel bike, and as many said I can see myself grabbing a road wheelset to do some more dedicated road riding. Very capable and adaptive on gravel, felt great on climbs and across some looser terrain. Big fan.

Astounding Performance Crux 2024

I’m very surprised at how great a bike this is. Feels as light as an Emonda to ride and somehow off road it glides on its 42mm pathfinder tyres. I was expecting to have to replace the advertised 38mm but it arrived with the perfect gravel tyres fitted. With a bigger front ring this could be the one bike to rule them all!
