✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 4 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . Caveat: Size 56 geometry row. Clearance is Specialized's stated 55mm for the Crux 5 frame, confirmed by the 'Max Tire Width Front 55 mm / Rear 55 mm' line in the Crux 5 user manual linked from this page. That manual also lists 'Rack Compatible: No' and 'Fender Compatible: No', so both mounts are recorded as absent. Single 40t chainring with a 13-speed 10-46 RED XPLR cassette. Specialized prints no model year on this page; 2026 reflects the current UK line-up as listed.
