Specialized CruX E5 - 2018
Details
It doesn't matter if you're racing cyclocross or racing down a fire road, our CruXE5 will deliver tremendous performance at an undeniable value.
The frame was constructed from our E5 Premium Aluminum in order to provide a stiff, lightweight, and responsive frame that's purpose-built to withstand the rigorous demands of cyclocross. you'll find that the tubing is also formed to make shouldering the bike a breeze, while the semi-compact geometry crerates predictable handling and explosive accelerations in the absolute worst of conditions.
The FACT carbon disc fork was designed to increase steering response and rider input for the tight turns and all-out efforts demanded of 'cross.
Tracer Sport tires have a fast tread for all-around cyclocross riding and racing. This tread covers all courses, with center knobs to provide ample traction and siped shoulder knobs that adapt to hard and loose ground. They're also respectably lightweight, making it easy to accelerate.
