The new Specialized Crux has been likened to a gravel Tarmac with good reason. Gone are the previous generation's round
More aero
Nearly as light
Wider tyre clearance
More suitable gravel geometry
Expensive
Lively ride and handling
may 2026
The fifth-generation Crux gets more aero, more tire clearance, and geometry aimed squarely at modern gravel racing, but it still delivers the quick, lively ride that made the old bike so good.
may 2026 · Jordan Villella
There is no more identity crisis for the Specialized Crux, it's now a full-on aero-focused gravel race machine with heavy Tarmac energy
Very light frame (789g S-Works FACT 12r)
Aero improvements: 15.2 watts faster at 45kph than Crux 4
Up to 55mm/2.2in tire clearance
Updated geometry: slacker head angle, lower bottom bracket, steeper seat angle
Size-specific layup for consistent ride feel across sizes
Efficient aero without weight penalty (complete builds starting at 6.9kg)
No internal frame storage or bag mounting points (except toptube bento mount)
High price: S-Works model at $14,000
Cyclocross riders lose a raceable option
may 2026 · Ronan Mc Laughlin
Out goes the classic look and cyclocross DNA as aero comes in, but is the now-dedicated gravel race platform already at risk of being superseded?
may 2026
Its biggest problem is its own predecessor, which is now heavily discounted
Comfortable
Its predecessor was among the fastest helmets we've tested, and this is claimed to be equal
Good colour options
Plenty breathable
Huge price, albeit not the most expensive on the market
Only small improvements over predeccessor which is already discounted
may 2026
A sensible build slightly hamstrung by too-wide bars and mechanical SRAM, but an enjoyable multi-surface machine nonetheless.
High quality alloy frame
No gimmicks and simple frame features make it a versatile platform
Fantastic geo, on and off road
Hassle free maintenance
Basic wheels
Stock wide bars don’t match the race focused geometry
1x gearing feels restrictive at higher speeds
