How we rate
About the build

A stack-to-reach ratio of 1.45 gives a lower, longer position than the typical gravel bike. The build is a bit mixed, putting modest wheels at Core-tier side by side with a standout frame at Performance-tier. While the rear derailleur drops down to Balanced, the rest of the group is Performance throughout. The price sits below the middle for gravel bikes with a comparable build.

Worth knowing
  • 6 sizes, reach from 375 to 425 mm
  • 700x45 tyres, tubeless-ready

Manufacturer's description

Crux 5 blev skabt af den hurtigste gravelracercykel, der nogensinde er lavet. Ikke kun fordi den er den letteste. Ikke kun fordi den er vores mest aerodynamiske. Ikke kun fordi den håndterer snavs, som en Tarmac håndterer asfalt. Men fordi den leverer verdens korteste sluttid for ​​nogen gravelcykel, der nogensinde er lavet. Crux 5 forvandler mere af din indsats til ren hastighed – valideret på tværs af rigtige racerbaner, rigtigt terræn og rigtige cykelryttere. Når målet er podiets øverste trin, findes der intet inden for gravel, som får dig hurtigere derop.
