Specialized CruX Expert EVO Di2

Here's the latest EVO version of the Specialized CruX. It's got three water bottle mounts, SWAT compatibility and 38mm-wide tires. At $7,000, it's not easy on the wallet and there will only be 100 made, at least for this year.

Hard to believe they would spec a 515gram 60tpi wire bead tire on a bike like that but that's all the 38mm trigger comes in according to the speshy website?

Spec sheet (only on the dealer site so far) says it has aramid bead tires. Probably a higher spec tire that will be generally available later.

The website needs to be updated. The tires are a folding version of the 700x38 Trigger with an additional layer of flat protection. Both Dan Hughes and Rebecca Rusch were running prototype versions of the tire at DK200 last year.

Thanks for the info. I'm always looking for new high end monstercross tires larger than 35mm and they are hard to come by. Loved my Clement MSO 40's but they were too big for my new carbon BH RX Team. I love the Bontrager CXO 38's that I'm running now but rear is almost worn out after 500 miles of gravel/pavement riding. It'll be hard to justify $65 for that kind of mileage. Sorry about getting this thread off topic.

Here's one in real life.  Pretty excited to get out on it soon.
 

Nice. What size is it?

52cm.  
Better to pictures to follow, once we get through the next round of storms we're supposed to be getting tomorrow night and this weekend.
