A new chapter in the gravel category!

If you want to ride on trails away from cars and crowds, or go full speed ahead in your favorite gravel race, you can’t beat the Specialized Diverge. It’s simply the fastest, most capable and probably the most fun bike Specialized has designed to date. It offers a fast and zippy ride, but is also stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough. Starting with gravel-optimized geometry, and ending with the greatest possible tire clearance, the Diverge represents everything Specialized have learned in 40 years of cycling.

Details of the Specialized DIVERGE ELITE E5

The premium E5 aluminum frame provide a stiff, lightweight and durable platform. Combined with the carbon fork, this results in a lightweight, agile and versatile bike that feels comfortable on any surface.

Specialized has thrown the “status quo” of gravel geometries out the window. The Diverge has one of the most progressive geometries Specialized has ever designed for a bike with a drop bar. This allows it to present you with a frame with very balanced riding characteristics. Specialized has lengthened the reach, flattened the steering angle and fitted a fork with a longer offset. This together results in a platform that provides confidence and riding stability on gravel and rough terrain. This coupled with shorter stems ensures that the handlebars do not move too far away and the steering remains dynamic. The depth of the bottom bracket is such that 650b wheels can also be mounted, but the smoothness is maintained.

Specialized has given the Diverge a variety of mounting points, which are also found on the fork and top tube. So that no matter how long you’ll be on the road, you can take your gear with you. Want to ride wider tires? We’ve taken that into account too, the Diverge has 47mm of tire clearance with 700C tires and 2.1″ with 650b wheels.
