Crux DSW Comp - SRAM Apex XPLR
Light, fast and ready for gravel
The Crux DSW is more than the lightest alloy gravel bike ever made — it's proof that alloy doesn't have to compromise. We took everything we learned building the carbon Crux and used our patented D'Aluisio Smartweld process to bring that same performance to an aluminium frame, creating the most capable, nimble, balanced, and responsive alloy gravel bike we've ever made.
Best for: Fast gravel riding, mixed-surface racing and lightweight all-road adventures.
