When it comes to cyclocross the CruX Expert X1 has everything you need and nothing that you dont. It features the same World-Championship-winning geometry and carbon layup as its S-Works cousin so ultra-responsive handling and punchy accelerations are covered.
Youll also find that these traits are accentuated by the lightweight and extremely stiff FACT 11r carbon fibre construction while course control is furthered through its one-by design hydraulic disc brakes and front/rear thru-axles.
Altogether its a bike thats guaranteed to take your performance to new heights this season. Beginning with the frame we implemented our Rider-First Engineered™ technology that was first introduced on our Tarmacs.
Using size-specific tubes and layups this technology allows the CruX to feature the same ride characteristics across every size in the range. Not only this but it also allowed us to significantly drop the frame weight so the CruX now comes in at a scant 900 grams for a 56cm—over 400 grams lighter than the previous frameset.
A light and stiff frame alone isn’t useful in a cross race if it isn’t compliant however which is why the new CruX also combines stiffness and compliance in all the right places. And to assist with the latter we lowered the seat collar by two centimetres for more exposed seatpost and therefore cushion for big hits.
We also know that cyclocross races are often won in the corners and over the barriers which is why the CruX geometry takes this into account. The top tube has been design for easy shouldering when youre hopping off to clear barriers as it features a large opening to the front triangle and a flat bottom.
For stability in the corners and on off-camber sections the geometry has a low bottom bracket and a sharp front end. This combination also helps to initiate corners regardless of the terrain. With maximum mud-shedding ability in mind we included eight millimetres of clearance on all sides of a 33mm tire providing plenty of clearance for muddy conditions.
It also comes with a reliable SRAM Force 1 hydraulic disc groupset lightweight and durable Roval SLX 24 clincher disc wheels and 2Bliss Ready tires.
Our FACT 11r carbon frame features a race-ready cross geometry and comes equipped with thru-axles 142mm rear spacing and takes advantage of our highest quality carbon production methods in order to create a bike thats as responsive as it is lightweight.
The internally routed S-Works FACT carbon disc fork features a thru-axle design that increases steering response and rider input for the tight turns and the all-out efforts cross demands.
The Roval SLX 24 Disc wheelset features a sub-1600-gram weight a 20-millimeter internal width and an alloy construction that makes it a solid performer for any cross event.
