This Specialized Crux DSW Frameset in size 49 cm is an ex-display frame, it may have some light cosmetic damage, but otherwise the frame is as new. The fork has been cut shorter than would come brand new out the box, so this may limit fit options and would cause a upper limit on the stack height. Please see photos for condition of the frameset.
Our ex display bikes are fully serviced and checked to ensure your riding experience is the same as a new bike - we offer full manufacturers warranty on all our ex display and ex demo bikes.
The 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.
Lightest weightat just 1399 grams* the CruX dsw is the lightest alloy gravel frame in the world. Combine that with our fact12r CruX carbon fork and a build curated for performance and a complete CruX dsw tips the scales at 9.37kgâno alloy gravel bike can compete.
*56cm in the lightest colorway. Production frames will vary.
Most capablemore clearance means more capabilityâthat's why the CruX dsw has the same tire clearance as its carbon siblingâ47mm and up to 2.1" on a 650b wheel. Combine this with the tough and light alloy frame and CruX dsw can take you anywhere you imagine at full gas.
Ultra-responsiveresponsive at the pedals. Supple in the saddle. We've used d'aluisio smartweld to fine-tune the properties of alloy to deliver a ride previously impossible without carbon and combine it 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 we hit the sweet spot between nimble and stable.
D'aluisio smartweld
d'aluisio smartweld - or dsw - is a patented engineering process that uses hydroforming to precisely match tube-to-tube joints for better stronger welds and ultimately a lighter frame that can be twice as durable as a traditional alloy frame. Specialized's smartweld technique helps us create a unique single-piece downtube and bottom bracket for the CruX shaving weight and amplifying responsiveness.
