DISC SPECIFIC E5 ALLOY FRAME
WHATHigh grade aluminum frame that’s aggressively shaped for the ‘cross racing experience.
WHYDrastically improves the structure of the frame for greater durability and performance.
HOWEach tube is engineered for pure racing, with the best balance of weight and stiffness to maximize performance.
TAPERED HEADTUBE/STEERER TUBE
WHATStrategically designed headtube/steerer assembly that tapers from 1-1/8” at the top to 1-3/8” at the crown.
WHYIncreases strength and stiffness for greater steering precision.
HOWIntegrating the 1-3/8” crown with a raised lower bearing adds surface area and strength, which ultimately creates a stiffer junction.
FACT CARBON FRAME, CANTILEVER OR DISC-SPECIFIC
WHATFACT construction with one-piece, carbon BB chainstay.
WHYOptimizes weight and stiffness for greater acceleration, efficiency, and handling.
HOWThe one-piece BB/chainstay design resists deflection under extreme pedal loads for improved power transfer.
CYCLOCROSS RACE-SPECIFIC FEATURES
WHATFrame geometry and features engineered for demands of the ‘cross racing experience.
WHYCyclocross racing demands a purpose-built machine with race-ready geometry and features to accommodate the nastiest of race conditions.
HOWShorter chainstays give a sharp and connected ride, recessed bottle bosses, Love Handle, and flattened toptube makes shouldering easier, while full internal cable routing improves shifting in muddy conditions.

I have been riding Specialized bikes for the past 3 years and there is undoubtedly no going back. I have never found a product that delivers on this level every time. Looks fast feels great. Congratulations to specialized...you did it again.
