I heard new Aethos and Crux are coming, internal cables and UDH for the Crux. This is really good news. Has anybody heard something else? Details? Thanks! ---

The cable routing looks the same. ---

Looks like crux gets UDH and that’s it. Not seeing internal cables. Maybe a fix of the headset issue too? ---

$8200 for a frame? Is this in Canadian dollars or something? ---

Still seems super high like 5k or whatever. That’s a lot of dough! Joe ---

For that price, it better be AUS$. I think it’s just priced ridiculously high because it’s not available yet, so a Time Machine is involved and you need to consider the future value of money. These round tube bikes are cheaper to produce than the fancier shapes. I think these are even machine layer carbon tape, making them less labor intensive. If you’re too poor for this carbon frame, Spec will sell you an aluminum DSW frame for 50% more than Trek would sell a more polished better painted frame for… but weigh 5-10gr less than a comparable frame (Crux v Crockett) ---

Just an FYI for anoyone who reads this…If you’re willing to forego the UDH and internal cables, Spesh is running a huge sale on the current S-Works Crux. ---

I’m surprised it’s 10r and not 12. I guess that’s the tell that this is not the “next gen” in their eyes. ---

But usually Spesh upgrade to the next version with a new gen, right? So what was the S-works wrap becomes the regular one and they introduce a new one 14r. ---

No. I have a 2014 Venge Pro with 10R carbon. The scheme has been fairly stable for a decade. At one point S-works went from 11R to 12R. I’m sure the tech behind the scenes has changed, but these names are just marketing anyway. ---

Oh, you’re right, I’m wrong. For some reason I was thinking my SL6 S-Works was 10r, but I just looked and it’s 12. My mistake. ---

Looking at the Australia site it looks like the price is the same as the existing S-Works frameset. 🤷‍♂️ ---

the Crux 2 gens ago, i.e the CX focused bike was 10r regardless of Sworks/Standard. just different paint. ---

The Crux is in no way aero. There is no need for internal cables. This isn’t the bike you want if you are looking for aero. ---
