{"product_id":"crux-dsw-comp","title":"Crux DSW Comp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Crux DSW is more than the lightest alloy gravel bike ever made. We took everything we learned creating the carbon Crux and used our patented D’Aluisio Smartweld to make it a reality in alloy. We’ve created the most capable, nimble, balanced, and responsive alloy gravel bike ever made for fast, fun, high-performance riding. And yeah, it’s the lightest too. Some may call it a carbon copy, but we call it the Crux DSW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLightest Weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just 1399 grams* raw frame weight, the Crux DSW is the lightest alloy gravel frame in the world. Combine that with our S-Works FACT Carbon fork and a build curated for performance, and a complete Crux DSW tips the scales at 9.37kg — no alloy gravel bike can compete. *56cm, lightest colourway; production frames will vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMost Capable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore clearance means more capability — the Crux DSW shares the same tyre clearance as its carbon sibling: 47mm and up to 2.1″ on a 650b wheel. Combined with the tough, light alloy frame, the Crux DSW can take you anywhere you imagine at full gas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUltra-Responsive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResponsive at the pedals, supple in the saddle. D’Aluisio Smartweld fine-tunes the properties of alloy to deliver a ride previously impossible without carbon, paired with the same performance gravel geometry and race-influenced fit as the carbon Crux. A longer reach delivers better weight distribution for quick, confident handling, while a lower stack creates a performance-first position. At 72mm of bottom-bracket drop, it hits the sweet spot between nimble and stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eD’Aluisio Smartweld\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD’Aluisio Smartweld (DSW) is a patented engineering process that uses hydroforming to precisely match tube-to-tube joints for stronger welds and, ultimately, a lighter frame that can be twice as durable as a traditional alloy frame. The Smartweld technique creates a unique single-piece downtube and bottom bracket, shaving weight and amplifying responsiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1399g Crux DSW frame (raw, unpainted, 56cm, lightest colourway)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapable:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47mm \/ 650b x 2.1″ tyre clearance — Diverge-level clearance to go anywhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResponsive:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nimble, supple and reactive, with performance gravel geometry and a race-influenced fit inspired by Crux’s ‘cross heritage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eFrameset\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecialized E5 Premium Aluminum Disc frame with D’Aluisio Smartweld Technology, hydroformed aluminum tubing, tapered head tube, threaded BB, UDH dropout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eSuspension\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS-Works FACT Carbon, 12x100mm thru-axle, flat-mount disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eBrakes\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Brake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRAM Apex, Hydraulic Disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Brake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRAM Apex, Hydraulic Disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCassette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRAM Apex XPLR, 12sp, 11-44T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShift Levers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRAM Apex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRAM Apex D1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrankset\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRAM Apex DUB Wide, 40t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Derailleur\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRAM Apex XPLR, mechanical, 12-speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottom Bracket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRAM DUB BSA 68 Wide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eWheels \u0026amp; Tyres\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Wheel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDT Swiss G540 rim, 24mm internal width, tubeless ready, 24h, Specialized full sealed bearing thru axle hub, centerlock disc, DT Swiss Champion 14G stainless steel spokes, DT Swiss brass nipples\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Wheel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDT Swiss G540 rim, 24mm internal width, tubeless ready, 24h, Specialized full sealed bearing thru axle hub, centerlock disc, DT Swiss Champion 14G stainless steel spokes, DT Swiss brass nipples\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Tyre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePathfinder 700x40, Tubeless Ready\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Tyre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePathfinder 700x40, Tubeless Ready\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInner Tubes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePresta, 700x32-50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eCockpit\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeatpost\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlloy, 2-bolt clamp, 12mm offset, 27.2mm, anti-corrosion hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaddle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Geometry Power Sport, steel rails\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandlebars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecialized Adventure Gear, 118.9mm drop x 70mm reach x 12° flare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeat Binder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecialized Alloy, 30.8mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecialized, 3D-forged alloy, 4-bolt, 7-degree rise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupacaz Super Sticky Kush\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.44kg (20lb 13.0oz) as built, size 56.
