Specialized Crux DSW Frameset

Why We Like The Specialized Crux DSW Frameset

For alloy lovers looking for a lightweight bike without having to opt for carbon, Specialized brings us the Crux DSW Frameset. This ultra-responsive, extremely capable gravel grinder features the D´Aluisio Smartweld (DSW) patented engineering process, which uses hydroforming to match tube-to-tube joints for stronger welds and a lighter frame. It also fine-tunes the properties of the alloy, delivering a ride that was never before possible without using carbon, and features the same performance gravel and race-influenced geometry as the carbon Crux. This high-performance build will make our gravel riding experience more responsive, agile, and faster than ever.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you´ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
