An exceptionally light gravel bike that excels on the climbs and is a blast to ride fast
Joe Robinson
VERDICT: The lightest gravel bike in the world, the Specialized S-Works Crux is a bona fide off-road race bike with performance to match its price
Josh Croxton
An impressively lightweight bike with a snappy, nimble and responsive feel that provides a truly confidence-inspiring ride on all but the roughest of surfaces
- +Impressively low weight at 7.25kg
- +Nimble and responsive handling
- +XPLR's 10-44T cassette offers ample gear range
- +Power meter included
- +Sub-1,300g wheelset
- +Third bottle cage mount for longer days
- -The feeling of being 'under-biked' comes early, though maximising the 47c tyre clearance would no doubt help
- -Cockpit integration would have been a nice finishing touch
