The Specialized Tarmac, Crux, and Roubaix now come equipped with the new SRAM Force AXS and Rival AXS

Specialized has wasted no time in taking advantage of the launch of the renewed SRAM Force AXS and SRAM Rival AXS to update its range of road and gravel bikes with models that already incorporate these groups in their transmissions.

Specialized road and gravel bikes are updated to be up to date

The new SRAM Force AXS and Rival AXS groups arrive in the Specialized range, which has immediately incorporated them into its Pro, Comp, and Expert models, thus raising their level and performance with the weight improvement provided by these new groups and the improvements in operation and ergonomics that bring them closer to the top-of-the-range Red.

Special mention to the arrival of the XPLR versions of both Force AXS and Rival AXS to the Crux gravel and cyclocross model, which represents a significant change as these bikes now have transmissions with 13 sprockets.
