$4200 is a hard pill to swallow 😱
Bought my Cervelo Aspero for $4500 in February. Came stock with carbon reserve 32 wheelset, grx810 2x11 groupie (ultegra level), carbon handlebars and carbon stem....
Idk how they can justify this price with mechanical rival.....with rival etap sure.
What’s the weight difference ?
You know it‘s bad when the Cervélo seems like a sensible choice in comparison
@@_dmart literally everything they listed is upgraded relative to this Crux
that is a really good price and those cervelo is really nice
$4200 for that build is outrageous. Give me a break.
Bruh for real. WTF is this
Jesus🤮🤮
there are alot of build like that for that price
Unreal. “Only” $5200 for “upgraded” wheelset and rival. Quite a sad state of things. Will be interesting to see more competition from direct to consumer companies over next few years. Picked up my Viathon/Walmart bike last year for$2600. Full carbon frame, cockpit, wheels, GRX 800. Right at 18lbs for size 56. Rides like a dream.
I have a canyon carbon cyclocross bike that cost oy 2400 it also has a full rival groupset and. Tubeless ready dt Swiss wheels not the lightest but they function well. And the weight in a size is 8.7kg with pedals en bottle cage so I think it is much better value
Lauf is sensational value! Same price as this with carbon wheels and Force XPLR with power meter! No brainier
:(
@@tombola4046 did u buy it ? im curious about the lauf i really want it at that price point but idk about that fork like is it gonna slow me down for racing
Hope you enjoy. I’m on vacation for a little :)
I left you a message about posting this and 💨 there it is..
thanks amigo.
Enjoy Holiday
How many vacations do you go on per year? This is like the fourth one since I subscribed.
Going gator hunting huh? 🤣
@@geraldtone5914 He works to live, not the other way around like many people do 😉
Specialized is smoking something on here... $4200 for a Rival with Sunrace cassette cmon man!!...
lmao
The front brake hose routing at the caliper hurts my eyes.
Whats the culprit, fork exit point or sram caliper?
@@thedownunderverse um... the mechanic fucked up
@@thedownunderverse cable routes over the other cables. Front brake should be shorter and go under.
..... the cables and shifterds and bars were all wrapped and connected.... if someone buys the bike and reqwuests it to be cut I would do it but I just built it as is and let it roll
yea I think it ahould be a flat mount caliper
There’s a few things that are wrong with this build at such a high price, but I think what floored me is that they used a Sunrace cassette. Sunrace?! I have a Sunrace cassette on my daily driver, which costs 12% of what this one does. And that’s not to mention that a lot of people will have to spend over $1000 to get a wheel set that should have came on the dang bike anyway. I don’t ride at this level, but to all of you elite veterans of the sport, I’m sorry that spesh let you down.
Not gonna lie I was kind of bummed by the sun race cassette too
5:17 “beggars can’t be choosers.” Amazing how a $4,200 bike puts a buyer into a “beggar” category-crazy times we live in.
Yea when I bought my rv for $33,000 dollars I said the same thing. But they had rvs for 100,000 dollars and I wanted some features that the more expensive one had. $33,000 is nothing to downplay. But it’s what the market is. I have a $65,000 dollar truck I just bought and has cloth. Because I can’t afford the leather
What are the two in-line brake hose connectors under the bars? are they available separately? thanks
Since it is only an 11 speed drive train if you upgrade the wheels you shouldn’t need an XD hub. I put on some Reynolds ATRs and they are fine with a Shimano hub. Am I missing something?!
Love my crux comp bike is fast the color scheme is sweet also great workout bike for me when not on the full suspension stump jumper
Ordered mine Tuesday but no eta 😟 are you sure rear is XD driver, if so a 10-xx cassette would be great gearing for flat areas!
yes, I have some ion the store
Hi GC, im about 5'7" and 30 inseam, i was thinking about getting the size 52, but would the 49 fit me better? sorry this bike is NOT readily available and cannot test it. I ride a 52 Aethos and it feels like i need 10 mm less reach, i need your advice base from what your customer bought in relative to my height
I would go 52 if your 57
@gcperformance - I am planning on buying this bike but am worried the top end of the range won't be enough for my road rides. What do you recommend as the best way to upgrade and get a higher top end without breaking the bank?
what do you mean top end range? in temrs of like speed? if thats the case you just need to add a bigger chainring, or crank if you want something lighter and more compatible but something like a 48t chainring, and maybe then go to like a 700x30 tires
@@GCPerformance18 yes - I fear the 11-42 with 40T chainring will leaving me feeling more on flat road rides so curious if you had a recommendation on maybe going 10-40 or even going 2X
So I buy that bike now for 2799-€. and i must say all those comments about the pricing - this frame is the second lightest on the market after the - s-works! If you buy a trek checkpoint you got a really cheap and heavy frame for that money.
do all sram rival 11s have the clutch or is a certain type for gravel bikes ?
majority of them do but that is considered a mountian bike derailer
Specialized Tarmac Crux comp?😂
lmfao
What's up with the cables? Looks like a bowl of spaghetti.
lmaoo they came stock built and already attached if someone buys it and doesnt like them I can cut fo rthem
You mentioned an SL7 recall update in the video? Did I miss it?
Ye. I didn't hear it mentioned again
yea I am sorry I did not mean to say that I was gonna touch on it but then made a video on it
How much would it weigh with a set of rovals and some 26's? If someone wanted to use it for a road bike.
With road tires/wheels and carbon cranks you can save almost 3 pounds.
dont know I will do some more wieght videos
looks really clean, i like it. only thing is the cable management at that handlebar. 1:25 not used to that at prices like this tbh
it is stock out of the box like this witht he bars and shifters already on there.... so I was not going to remoce and cut and re wrap bars... when the consumer buys the bike and they want to shorten I can do then if they like
Any idea when the Terra CL wheels will be available?
I think it says late November
Second hand, dentist bike market, will be so good
hahahha
Could you verify the rear is XD driver I cant seem to get a straight answer!
I don’t have them here. But you can always get an xdr driver and ad a spacer and make it xd
That's how the cables are arranged? Yikes
yea it come sstock like that out of the bike
You got any of the new riprock 20 kids bikes at your store that sells on the website for 650? Thinking to get one for my little girl…
give me a call tomorrow I have osme 20 inch riprocks I forget if they are girls or boys 9544271484
Others have said the Crux cannot accept 2X mechanical.
Only electronic - that doesn’t help the cost equation
yea this is true I forgot that there is not mechanical hole there for a front derailer
Those brake hoses go through some sharp angles at the calipers.
Yea I know I think they should have been a flat mount brake
Lmao Sram Rival for 4200$
For $700 dollar less you get a Scott Addict Gravel 20 with Rival eTap instead, the same with many other manufacturers, you get electronic groupsets for less money than mechanical builds from Specialized
I really wish people stopped buying Specialized product for a while because their price gauging have become ridiculous, will never happen though, Specialized "fans" don't care...
Edit: Just checked Specialized website, if you want a Crux with Sram Rival eTap you will have to throw away $6000 AND you still got DT Swish aluminium wheels while other manufacturers offer carbon rims...So, entry level components on Specialized bike & often 2:nd to top level components on other brands for the same price, yeah. hard choice......really....
@@Jeppelelle I am a Specialized fan (got a Tarmac SL6 Pro) and I can tell you for sure my next bike will not be a Specialized... Their pricing is just ridiculous!
dam
I caight this on sale for 3200$ i dont know much about gravel bikes realltand dont have a ton if money to soend on bikes BUT ive neen racing this bike and im not having any issues. However, i HATE that SRAM double tap BS shifting. Did a mudnrace and it worked well for 2.5 hours amd then went to shit. Had to replace cables, housing and all.
very very nice
Are the Sunrace cassettes XDR?
no they are shimano freehub
@@GCPerformance18 so you could toss Terra C on without having to change the freehub body? :)
Were getting shafted by the industry , never seen that asking price.
I mean
Looks good, Just little branding but iz pretty good
yea it looks nice
One advantage of the SunRace cassette that we all hate on this build is that it uses a Shimano freehub. Maybe this is a stretch for some people, but because of this one could buy the Roval Terra C wheels and keep the SunRace cassette without spending the money to swap the freehub for an XDR. That essentially makes carbon wheels a couple hundred dollars cheaper (if the SunRace is tolerable).
As everyone else has said, poor value. 11 speed mech group, cables, paint. It's a no from me.
Yea no one liked this model
seems like everyone talks shit about this bike and everyone only have good things to say about the diverge comp carbon. how does this compare to the comp carbon? they are the same price.
of the diverge? the divereg comp carboon gives a better group and also more tech for the future shock and the swat storage I can do a vidoe on that for sure
How much is just the frame?
no idea, I would think 3300
Probably $4100....lol
Looks flexy 😉
hahahahha like a coke bottle
No way in hell is this thing worth anywhere near $4200 bucks... It would be laughable if not so sad. Specialized have clearly lost their way. Cut the price of this in half and maybe, just maybe.
Even cutting the price in half I would look at other options this is getting ridiculous. You need to spend at least $5200 to get a decent setup with carbon wheels and this is one of the better bangs for your buck?? lol
ye
Another overpriced beautiful bike. Great job GC...
hahahahha I am sorry i guess
Absurd prices aside, that cable routing is not showroom quality, lol I'd be embarrassed showing that in public. At least move the cables down below the bars :)
sorry
This looks a lot like the Cannondale Synapse. I wonder if it was designed by the same person. I heard the aethos was made by the guy that designed the old supersixevo
no I do not think so
Peter Denk is his name and you are correct. It does have a lot of cannondale cues on that frame.
For the money, that spec and weight is ridiculous. I have a trek crockett size xl that is half a kilo lighter and cost over a grand less.
Yes it is expensive
I can't argue that price. It's about the same I got invested into my Ridley X_Fire cyclocross bike I bought about 6 years ago. I know some people think that is still to much but it's the world we live in now.
"but it's the world we live in now" No it's not, only if one insist on buying stuff from Specialized or any other of the price gauging brands, many other manufacturers offer much better builds for way less money, like Scott, Giant, Cannondale, Canyon, Rose etc etc etc, some brands have become ridiculous in their pricing but we still live in a world where you can get pretty good value for money from plenty of other brands
@@Jeppelelle You are probably right but I consider those brands you mentioned to make lower quality than a brand like Ridley. Specialized I don't know, lately their quality does seem to suck too.
@@wasupwitdat1mofiki94 Yeah, i totally get that, if you feel that Ridley is of high quality then i have no problem with it costing more than other potentially lower quality brands, because then atleast the money is spent on a better product but as you said, when it comes to Specialized it seems like the quality isn't there anymore, reading user reviews, forum posts etc etc (this year: sl7 steerer design flaw, sl7 & aethos flexy frame when sprinting causing brake rub, Enduro seatpost carbon fibre cracks etc etc) it really seems like one pays more for less nowadays, so, it seems like Specialized have raised their prices while lowering the quality, if they raised the price while raising the quality i would have no problem with the price, so yeah, i used to really like Specialized products but it isn't justified anymore.
(Sorry for the wall of text 😃)
I like how you kind of accepted this prioce and everyone else hated it
@@GCPerformance18 I didn't say I like the price, but it makes sense. I bought my Ridley carbon frameset on sale from Competitive cyclist and at that time it was $1500. I personally chose all the components, Campy CX 10 speed cranks and Centaur 10 speed group. Zipp aluminum bars and stem. Custom built Industry Nine hubs with Boyd Altimont aluminum rims. Specialized saddle generic carbon seatpost. I also have cable pull Hybrid hydraulic brakes from Yokozuna. Total price was probably a bit more than the bike you are reviewing. That was 6 years ago pricing. People don't seem to get it yet but the fact is everything is going up in pricing blaming the Pandemic. People also don't seem to realize that because of inflation the wages of the folks that work in the bike shops needs to increase too. You aren't going to keep good help if you don't pay a living wage. I know I don't want some unskilled teen who doesn't really give a shit working on my expensive bikes.
I'll be back in 14 years
hahahhaha
$4200 for mechanical sram rival is a huge scam Specialized robbing people in broad daylight incredible to say the least.. This is like buying a shimano 105 bike for 4.2k lol
I have seen a couple companies like the company ventum that ofers a gravel bike with the same group for the same monmeya nd they are a direct ot consumer to company
@@GCPerformance18 Yup they also robbing people blind.. Sram Rival mechanical is equivalent to shimano 105 maybe those companies made a honest mistake and priced it as if it was sram rival etap lol with the power meter included.
Beggers carnt be choosers, I wish it was a sram cassette for 4200 🤣🤣🤣
$4200 with those cables/hoses? 🙄
Do you have to pay extra for a tidy cable setup? 😏😉😁
And for this you still get GXP 😂😂😂
The cables are stock. They came connected. I can clean it up if you buy it
@@GCPerformance18 That’s my point, pay $4200 and the cables are like that? . 🤔
IT should cost maximum 1/4 the price, IT is only pure marketing nothing more.
dam
Forget the Sunrace cassette (lol) and the lowest-end components you get for $4200 (lol) the real question is - WHO THE HELL DID THE CABLING HERE? Without a doubt the sloppiest, filthiest, most careless cable routing I’ve ever seen on any bike. My god. Mind blowing. 😂😂😂
the cabels come ran stock on the bike with the handlebars wrapped already.... if you buy from me I will fix per your request but in no means will I take a brand new bike out of the box that functions perfect..... and un ravel the tape cut the hoses put on new barbs and olives out of my expense and then re bleed for a bike on the floor....... no thanks pal, you are talking to me to buy it and you say its a deal breaker for the cables then yes I will fix for you
geez, at this price range, it should have integrated cables at least
All the crux don’t have them
$4,200 for 19 lbs without pedals? jeez
it is a gravel bike though with massive tires and a big gear range
Buy Chinese, oh wait! Specialized is made in China. What the hell is going on here? Specialized is reselling frames for 10X the amount you can get direct from China? That doesn't make any sense. The quality is probably the same. What is the matter with people?
Don’t know I’m sorry
