Specialized S-Works Crux 5 SRAM RED XPLR Fjord Gold Sandstone Blurred Impasto/Gloss Flake Silver / 49 Bikes - Gravel

S-Works Crux 5 SRAM RED XPLR

$19,000.00

The S-Works Crux 5 is Specialized's most complete argument for what a gravel race bike should be: not just light, not just aero, but genuinely the fastest from start line to finish tape. Built around a 789g FACT 12r carbon frame and paired with the latest SRAM RED XPLR E1 drivetrain, the Crux 5 is engineered around real-world Time to Finish rather than spec sheet bragging rights. The Roval Terra Aero CLX integrated cockpit and asymmetric wheelset are purpose-built for the demands of gravel racing, where every watt saved on an open section compounds into a meaningful gap. If podiums are the goal, the Crux 5 is the tool for the job.

KEY FEATURES

  • 789g FACT 12r Carbon Frame: An ultra-light chassis built with Rider First Engineered geometry, threaded BB, and UDH dropout for a stiff, responsive ride that scales correctly across every frame size.
  • SRAM RED XPLR E1 Drivetrain: Wireless 13-speed electronic shifting with a Quarq power meter crankset, 10-46T cassette, and updated lever ergonomics - everything you need to pace and execute a race with precision.
  • Roval Terra Aero CLX Wheelset: Asymmetric rim depths - 50mm front, 45mm rear - with 27mm internal width, ceramic SINC hub bearings, and composite aero spokes with titanium end pieces. Built to be fast and durable where it counts.
  • Ceramic Speed BB Alpha: A premium ceramic bottom bracket reduces drivetrain friction at the source, converting more of your power into forward motion across the full duration of a race.
  • Roval Terra Cockpit - Integrated Bar/Stem: A one-piece integrated bar and stem system delivers a clean, aerodynamic front end with fully managed cable routing and precise handling response.
  • Pathfinder 700x45 Tubeless Ready Tires: A proven race tire in a 45c width that balances rolling speed, grip, and puncture resistance across the mixed surfaces that define modern gravel racing.

PERFECT FOR

Competitive gravel racers who measure success in finish times and podium positions, and want the most race-optimized complete build Specialized has ever produced.

Why we like the Specialized S-Works Crux 5 SRAM RED XPLR

Built Around Time to Finish, Not Spec Sheet Numbers

The Crux 5 is validated across real race courses and real terrain, not just wind tunnel sessions. The combination of light weight, aerodynamic efficiency, and race geometry produces a bike that is genuinely faster in the real world - which is the only metric that matters when the tape is in sight.

The Roval Terra Aero CLX is a Serious Wheelset

Asymmetric depths - deeper at the front for aero gains, slightly shallower at the rear for stability and compliance - paired with ceramic SINC bearings and ARRIS composite aero spokes. This is a wheel system that was engineered for gravel racing rather than adapted from a road platform.

Ceramic Speed at the Bottom Bracket

Most bikes at this price point use a stock threaded BB. The Crux 5 ships with a Ceramic Speed BB Alpha as a standard spec. Over the course of a long race, reduced friction at the BB is a genuine and measurable performance advantage - not a marginal one.
