Source: specialized.com (verified 2026-08-01) · corroborated by bikeexchange.com. specialized.com returned HTTP 403 to every direct automated fetch attempt in this research pass, so the BikeExchange mirror of the 2026 Crux Comp listing (which republishes Specialized's own commercetools-hosted product data and imagery) was used to confirm identity: FACT 10r carbon frame, Rider-First Engineered geometry, flat-mount disc, UDH dropout, threaded BB, Shimano GRX 1x12 with 40t/10-45t gearing, 700x38mm Pathfinder Pro tires with 47mm/650bx2.1in clearance, and a claimed 8.55kg (18lb 13.6oz) weight. A US price could not be independently re-verified via direct fetch given the manufacturer block; the $3,199.99-$3,999.99 range and CAD MSRP are the best available US-market signal. The hero product image is Specialized's own commerce-CDN photo (pulled from the BikeExchange listing's markup) and was downloaded and visually confirmed to show this Crux Comp in a purple/pink colorway with a GRX crank and "CRUX" fork branding.
