Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Frame geometry
2023 Specialized S-Works Crux has 6 mm more reach than 2019 Specialized S-Works CruX in the selected sizes.
More reach puts the head-tube reference farther forward, not necessarily the hands.
- Gearing
2023 Specialized S-Works Crux has a 31% lower climbing ratio than 2019 Specialized S-Works CruX.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Gearing
Published shift platforms differ: 2023 Specialized S-Works Crux uses SRAM AXS; 2019 Specialized S-Works CruX uses Shimano Di2.
- Identity & price
2019 Specialized S-Works CruX had an original MSRP $3,250 lower than 2023 Specialized S-Works Crux.
Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.
Selected-size geometry
Geometry overlay
Frames share one scale and a bottom-bracket alignment. Size labels differ by brand; schematic drawing aids are identified below.
Gearing comparison
Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.
RPM
RPM = pedal turns per minute.

How it works
Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.
Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
