We figured the production cycle was nearing its end. We heard the internet chatter. We’d seen the spy shots and race-day photos. The cat has poked its head out of the bag. Specialized appears to be getting ready to release a new Crux and a completely redesigned one at that.
Just two weeks ago, Specialized Off-Road rider Geerike Schreurs won the Gralloch UCI Gravel World Series race aboard what appears to be this new steed. And it can easily be summed up as a fat-tyred Tarmac. Gone are the classically round tubes, the round seatpost and the visible cables. In their place: sleek, wind-cutting tube profiles; a proprietary aero seatpost; a fully integrated cockpit and, likely, even more tyre clearance.
