It’s simply the fastest, most capable and probably the most fun bike Specialized has designed to date. From the Future Shock fork and gravel-optimized geometry, to the most tire clearance possible, the Diverge represents everything Specialized have learned in 40 years of cycling.

Details of the Specialized DIVERGE EXPERT

Thanks to FACT 9R Carbon, the frame is among the lightest, making this a suitable competition platform. Whether you want to set new best times on the next climb or tackle the next mountain, the Diverge will make it happen.

Speed, control and confidence, Future Shock 2.0 technology is ideal for the gravel rider. With Future Shock 2.0 technology and its hydraulic damping you have the always full control and maximum comfort.

Specialized has thrown the “status quo” of gravel geometries out the window. The new 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.

The Diverge borrows the SWAT storage compartment from the legendary Stumpjumper. In this you have space to store tools, tube or energy bar. So you have the back free and the things are stored with a low center of gravity in the frame.
