BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
The Specialized CruX is available in numerous carbon builds. Tracer tires are used on the bike. They excel on compact surfaces but if you intend to race on wet or loose cyclocross terrain a tire swap is necessary. Experts agree that the CruX can serve as your do-everything bike. Wide tires make it capable of exploring gravel roads when you’re not racing ‘cross. The geometry also is relaxed enough that this bike can serve as one’s daily commuter.Expert Reviews
