Specialized Crux 5 S-Level Gravel Bike SRAM RED XPLR Redwood/White

Season:2027

Brand:Specialized

Code:42948295469836

The Crux 5. Just launched and already dominating races at the highest level.

At the 2026 Unbound Gravel200.Not only were both winners, Sofia Gomez Villafañe and Mads Wurtz Schmidt, riding the Crux 5 bike, so too were both second-place finishers, as well as third and fifth place for the men.

The Crux 5 S-Level was born from the fastest gravel race bike ever made. It delivers the lowest real-world time to finish of any gravel bike ever made.

The Crux 5 S-Level turns more effort into pure speed, validated across real race courses, real terrain, and real riders. When the goal is the top step, nothing in gravel gets you there faster.

As Specialized's most aerodynamic gravel race bike, the Crux 5 draws from Tarmac SL8 learnings and decades of aero research, with every tube sculpted for speed at elite gravel race speeds. It is 15.2 watts faster. The bike delivers telepathic handling, instantaneous acceleration, and balanced compliance that reduces fatigue on the roughest courses. Rider First Engineered and now with 55mm tire clearance for unmatched traction and comfort, it preserves the legendary ride feel of the Crux 4 while adding real aerodynamic performance.

Crux 5 is up to 9:58 faster over Unbound, based on simulations for Sofía Gómez Villafañe vs. Crux 4, assuming same course, conditions, and rider input as 2025 Unbound.
