The 2025 Specialized Crux DSW is more than the lightest alloy gravel bike ever made. Designers took everything they learned creating the carbon Crux and used patented D’Aluisio Smartweld to make it a reality in alloy. They’ve created the most capable, nimble, balanced, and responsive alloy gravel bike ever made for fast, fun, high-performance riding. And yeah, it’s the lightest too. Some may call it a carbon copy, but we call it the Crux DSW.
