LUX Junior Cycling, officially LUX/CTS p/b Specialized for the 2022 racing season, and also simply known as "LUX", was an American amateur junior and women's u-23 cycling team founded in 2012. LUX was formed in southern California and slowly grew to have a national and international presence with members from across the country winning multiple national and world championships. LUX has had multiple notable riders that continued to WorldTeams and ProTeams in their professional careers including Riley Sheehan, Quinn Simmons, Luke Lamperti, and Brandon McNulty. LUX was run by Roy Knickman from 2014-2022.
LUX ceased all operations at the end of the 2022 racing season due to financial reasons.
