Figured it was time for a dedicated thread as this launch draws nearer…
More activity / converging rumors on 2027 “Crux” over on this WW thread:
Rumors are just rumors, but several sources reporting:
- no longer a Cx bike
- Diverge 4 level clearance (stated Diverge 4 clearance = “fits 50mm tires with 8mm of clearance or 2.2” tires with ISO standard 4mm of clearance”)
- Aero “SL9” tube profile & design
- Roval “Terra” cockpit (spied on Matt Beers bike at Santa Vall in Girona) backswept shape, flared drops
- Integrated routing
- wide, “mullet” depth Roval Terra Aero wheelset on top builds (have been spied since Big Sugar last year)
- Raced at Unbound, dropping in June
Aero Roval gravel wheels have been well-documented, new integrated cockpit is seeing some daylight in the past couple of days, a poster on the linked thread above mentioned that marketing photos were happening in the “Win Tunnel” last week… it should break cover soon I would imagine.
Many close up shots of the cockpit and wheels in this recent video with a bad AI voiceover:
