Now featuring UDH and the all-new SRAM RED XPLR, the S-Works Crux sheds an impressive 102 grams. Equipped with Roval Terra CLX II wheels, Terra Bars, an Alpinist seat post, an S-Works Power Saddle with Mirror, and Pathfinder Pro tires, this new S-Works Crux represents our most premium build yet.

Lightest: Weighing in at just 725g for the S-Works 12r frame, we’ve harnessed the innovations from the Aethos to create a gravel bike that climbs effortlessly, glides over challenging terrain, and weighs less than a full water bottle.

Capable: The Crux offers unparalleled capability with a tire clearance of 47c/650b x 2.1”. This generous clearance lets you tackle any terrain at full throttle, just like the Diverge.

Responsive: The Crux is nimble, supple, and highly reactive. It responds instantly at the pedals and provides a comfortable ride in the saddle, thanks to its performance gravel geometry and race-inspired fit rooted in its ‘cross heritage.
