Model Summary
The S-Works Crux Frameset - FACT 12r Carbon is the range-topping expression of Specialized's Crux platform: the lightest gravel bike in the world, with the exceptional capability of massive tyre clearance and performance gravel geometry. At a claimed 725 grams, the FACT 12r frame is the lightest in the current Crux line-up, built using the same construction breakthroughs that made the Aethos the lightest road bike ever, applied here to gravel. It's not just the ultimate expression of gravel performance — it's your one-way ticket to gravel enlightenment, supplied as a premium frameset ready for a genuine top-tier build.

- Included FACT Carbon seatpost: ships with a FACT Carbon seatpost featuring Specialized's CG-R compliance system for extra comfort over rough gravel.
- Race-tuned geometry: a 71.25° head tube angle and 47mm fork offset (reference size; varies across the size range) deliver quick, confident handling.
