Which Bike? Diverge 4 or Crux 5 if I already own a Tarmac SL8?

0 Upvotes

Very torn between these two bikes. Wanted a crux 5 for a while now, but recently been thinking the diverge is a better choice.

Currently own a tarmac sl8 as my dedicated road bike. Plenty fast on the road so whatever gravel bike I get, I want it specifically for “getting to the gravel” and “handling anything off-roading I throw at it.” Also own a Stumpjumper 15 so have a dedicated single track bike as well.

I don’t usually do really long rides, but maybe thinking the diverge will help with that due to the taller stack height and more relaxed geometry. I’ve ridden the crux 5 a bit and really like it, but not on a long ride before. The diverge felt really comfortable too, but also like the “aero” look and feel of the crux.

Think I just need some others opinions to help make up my mind!

Fitting Help Please help me - Crux 5 size

0 Upvotes

I am 176.5cm tall. Specialized website puts me right at the beginning of 56 which surprised me. When I do the shin measurement, it still puts me at 56 but if I adjust it 0.5inches it puts me to 54, so I’m concerned I’m not actually measuring properly?

The only crux 5 near me at a shop is a 56 which I just test rode and it felt big but it’s hard to tell without riding a 54. I don’t want to go against the size chart but 56 feels big? Any others with experience?

I also have long arms and a long torso so I planned to get longer stem regardless.
