Full details

FAQs

What is the maximum tire size I can run on the Crux 5 Comp 2027?

The frame provides clearance for up to 55mm tires.

Is the bike suitable for bikepacking?

While it can handle light gravel touring, it is primarily optimized for racing and lacks the extensive mounting points found on dedicated bikepacking bikes.

How heavy is the frame?

The FACT 10r carbon frame weighs 897g.

Does the bike come with tubeless-ready wheels?

The bike is equipped with DT G540 wheels, which are highly versatile and compatible with tubeless setups.

Can I upgrade to a different groupset later?

Yes, the frame is compatible with most modern gravel groupsets, though the internal cable routing is optimized for the current AXS setup.

What is Rider First Engineering?

It is a design process that ensures every frame size has the exact same stiffness and handling performance characteristics as the rest of the size range.

Troubleshooting

Wireless shifting delay or misfire

Check battery levels on the rear derailleur and ensure the battery is securely locked in place.

Brake rub or squeal

Verify that the brake rotors are true and that the brake calipers are properly centered over the rotor.

Handlebar or stem creaking

Remove the stem faceplate, clean the contact surfaces, and re-torque all bolts to the recommended settings using carbon assembly paste if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup is vital to unlocking the performance of the Crux 5 Comp. Ensure your tire pressure is dialed in specifically for your chosen terrain—lower pressures are recommended when running wider tires to maximize the frame's compliance. Since the bike features an AXS wireless drivetrain, keep your batteries charged using the standard SRAM charger; it is recommended to check battery levels via the SRAM AXS mobile application before long events. For cleaning, avoid high-pressure water sprayers near the bottom bracket and headset bearings. Regularly inspect the carbon frame for any signs of damage after significant impacts and use a torque wrench to ensure all alloy cockpit components are secured to manufacturer-specified limits.
