Best Crux 2023 colors?

I would love to hear some feedback on which color way is the coolest…. Regardless of components…. Just colors

Thanks!

Maybe they'll take some getting used to, but I'm not really too fond of any of them. I find the design to be a little distracting (then again, I arguably have boring taste). The last one is probably the best though, palette-wise.

Blue is the best.

I think the black/dark grey one looks pretty cool. I like stealth colors.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that hasn't been totally into the schemes. I feel like I'd keep thinking I'm riding a king snake camo edition. :/

If I had to pick, it'd be the black/grey or the white.

The new colors are officially for the 2024 model year, as they carried over the colors from 2022 MY to 2023

Of those shown in the OP the ranking would be 2,1,3. The black/blue especially doesn't work IMO as a color and pattern choice.

The white Comp/Normal level frame looks pretty nice if understated, much prefer it over the 2022/2023 white model:

The other S-Works frame colors look pretty bad IMO - the aforementioned Black/Blue dress confusion motif, and the Cleveland Browns-inspired getup:


This is still my favorite of all: I haven't had time to build up my frame yet, but it's a stunner in person:

Are they all matte or is the mustard baby poop glossy?

If the white one is actually a choice, that’s the best one, if not, then none of the above. Just cross your fingers and wait for the second color options to drop!

I'd take any of them if they were more affordable. Spec's pricing makes the Boone seem like a bargain.

They all look better than anything Cannondale has produced in the last 4+ years
