Specialized has turned heads in the cycling world with the launch of the Crux DSW, a game-changer in the gravel biking scene. Boasting the title of 'the lightest alloy gravel bike ever,' this innovative creation features Specialized's exclusive D'Aluisio Smartweld technology. Cyclists can now experience the perfect blend of performance and lightweight design with the sub-10kg Crux DSW. Whether tackling gravel roads, cyclocross tracks, or zipping through the city, this versatile bike promises an exceptional riding experience.

Adding to its gravel line-up, Specialized's Crux DSW showcases a hydroformed aluminium construction that sets a new standard in weight reduction. Weighing in at a mere 1399g for the frame and just under 2kg for the frameset, this bike is a game-changer for cyclists seeking speed and agility without compromising on durability. With the same geometry as the carbon fibre Crux, riders can expect top-notch handling and performance on any terrain.

In a world where owning multiple bikes is the norm, the all-new Crux DSW challenges this trend. Specialized invites cyclists to streamline their collection and opt for the ultimate all-in-one bike solution. With the Crux DSW, riders can enjoy the benefits of a high-performance gravel bike while maintaining the versatility to switch between different terrains with ease.

Specialized's reintroduction of aluminium into its gravel line-up marks a significant shift in the industry. The Crux DSW not only offers unparalleled lightness but also proves that aluminium frames can rival carbon fibre in terms of performance. This revolutionary bike is set to redefine the standards of gravel biking, offering enthusiasts a new level of excitement and innovation in their cycling adventures.
