Crux DSW - The Lightest Alloy Gravel Bike

The Crux DSW is more than the lightest alloy gravel bike ever made. Using our patented D’Aluisio Smartweld technology, we’ve engineered the most capable, nimble, balanced, and responsive alloy gravel bike for fast, fun, high-performance riding. Some may call it a carbon copy, but we call it the Crux DSW.

Lightest Weight

At just 1399 grams*, the Crux DSW is the lightest alloy gravel frame in the world. Combined with our Fact12r Crux carbon fork and a performance-driven build, the complete Crux DSW weighs only 9.37kg—no other alloy gravel bike comes close.

*56cm in the lightest colorway. Production frames will vary.

Most Capable

With 47mm tire clearance (up to 2.1” on a 650b wheel), the Crux DSW delivers maximum capability. Its tough yet lightweight alloy frame ensures you can tackle any adventure at full gas.

Ultra-Responsive

Designed for quick, confident handling and a performance-first fit, the Crux DSW features a longer reach for better weight distribution and a lower stack for an optimized riding position. The 72mm bottom-bracket drop balances nimbleness and stability.

D’Aluisio Smartweld

Our patented D’Aluisio Smartweld (DSW) technology revolutionizes alloy frame construction. By hydroforming and precisely matching tube-to-tube joints, we achieve better, stronger welds for a lighter frame that’s twice as durable as traditional alloy. A unique single-piece downtube and bottom bracket reduce weight and amplify responsiveness.
