Crux DSW Comp – SRAM Apex XPLR

The Crux DSW is more than the lightest alloy gravel bike ever made. Specialized took everything learned creating the carbon Crux and used its patented D’Aluisio Smartweld to make it a reality in alloy: a capable, nimble, balanced and responsive alloy gravel bike for fast, fun, high-performance riding.

  • Lightest weight: at 1399 grams (56cm, lightest colourway) the Crux DSW is the lightest alloy gravel frame in the world, paired with an S-Works FACT carbon fork.
  • Most capable: the same tyre clearance as the carbon Crux—47mm, and up to 2.1” on a 650b wheel.
  • Ultra-responsive: the same performance gravel geometry and race-influenced fit as the carbon Crux, with 72mm of bottom-bracket drop for the sweet spot between nimble and stable.
  • D’Aluisio Smartweld: hydroformed tube-to-tube joints for stronger welds and a lighter frame, including a single-piece downtube and bottom bracket.
