Interesting facts about Specialized Cyclocross Bikes

Cyclocross sport demands everything from the athletes. Humble weather, cool temperatures, challenging courses, and rugged terrain must be overcome to be successful in the end. With these requirements in mind, Specialized has developed its Cyclocross bikes and tuned them for absolute endurance and performance. Stiff frames, high traction, and direct handling characterize the bikes of the Crux series that strike the balance between off-road capability and road power. The Specialized bikes are both fast racing machines as well as ideal training partners that accompany you in every season and in any weather.

Fun in the Mud

The best part: Cyclocross is insanely fun, whether during an intense competition or lonely training on the field paths behind the forest. The Specialized Crux offers the right equipment for this. Beginners get a solid aluminum frame that convinces with a good price-performance ratio as well as exceptionally high quality workmanship and torsional rigidity. The special alloys made from premium aluminum material are also particularly light. Together with a carbon fork, they achieve a good balance between load capacity and smooth handling.

Those who need it even lighter will also find high-quality carbon frames in the Specialized Cyclocross program. The frame is even stiffer thanks to the superior stiffness/weight ratio of the carbon fibers and very agile and manoeuvrable due to the aggressive geometry. This way, you benefit from maximum efficiency and power transmission when you start sprinting on muddy ground.

Lightweight Cyclocross Frames from Specialized

To be successful in cyclocross, however, you need not only an incredibly good bike but also a strong will and good condition. The sometimes extremely difficult routes sometimes make it necessary to carry the bike over obstacles up the hill with light feet. Another reason why a Cyclocrosser, despite its high stability, has a low weight. Specialized also uses a compromise between weight and robustness for the components of its Crux models. High-quality shift groups from Shimano and SRAM ensure reliability and high functionality, even when things get really dirty.

In addition, the US manufacturer has increasingly relied on disc brakes in recent years to stop its Cyclocross bikes. The advantages are obvious. More braking power in dry conditions and especially in wet conditions provide more safety and let you go into bends with full confidence.
