✓ 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. Cassette is a Shimano XT CS-M8100 10-45. Specialized documents no mudguard or rack mounts on this product page, so both are recorded as absent. Specialized prints no model year on this page; 2026 reflects the current UK line-up as listed.
