Specialized Crux


All Cross-Dressed Up….

I was looking forward to this, my first cross race of the season, a local one, just 10 miles up the road, so an enjoyable mix of friends and fun and pain, the potential re-shuffling of the mostly amicable pecking order, and stopping off on the way home for something fatty and tasty and frequently justified as ‘well-earned’. It’s mostly a tradition now.

Cross Dressing Up Pt1

This Specialized CruX Elite was tested a while ago and turned out to be a great race-ready bike that was a bit held back by some of the parts fitted to meet its friendly £1,000 target.

The Crux is a rare beast; a thousand pound cyclo-cross bike that's designed for actual cyclo-cross. It's not a jack-of-all-trades utility bike dressed up as a CX bike but a 'cross bike that's designed for what cyclo-cross really is - racing.

No mudguards, no rack mounts, sharp geometry: a cyclocross bike designed for cyclocross
