Whether your goal is to escape on gravel back roads, far from cars and crowds, or drop the hammer at the front of your favorite gravel race, no bike does it better than the new Diverge. Itâs quite simply the fastest, most capable - and just maybe the most fun - bike Specialized has ever made, delivering a ride thatâs quick and lively under power, but stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough. From Future Shock 2.0 and all-new gravel geometry, to internal storage and category leading tyre clearance, the new Diverge represents everything learnt over more than 40 years of Specialized innovating on the road, gravel and dirt. The Diverge writes an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category, so you can dream up entirely new rides. Itâs the ultimate getaway vehicle.
The Diverge Comp Carbon features the same game changing FACT 9r Carbon frame and Future Shock 2.0 as the Pro model but specâd with SRAMâs mechanical shifting Rival 1 1x11 gravel group. Alloy DT Swiss G540 wheels keep you rolling efficiently, while Kanza winning Pathfinder Pro 42mm tyres deliver performance across smooth pavement, forest roads and gravel tracks. To give the Diverge Comp Carbon a perfectly balanced ride the bike boats Rovalâs Terra seat post.Â
The FACT 9r carbon frame weighs in at 1,100 grams (995g for the 11r S-Works model) - incredibly capable and race bike light.
Speed, control and confidence - Future Shock 2.0 is the ultimate technology for the gravel rider. With 20mm of axial compliance and a hydraulic damper, Future Shock 2.0 suspends the rider not the bike. This keeps you confident and in control, able to keep the power down and stay off the brakes over rough dirt roads and in thick loose gravel, all while keeping your hands, arms and neck fresh. Since Future Shock 2.0âs damper is adjustable, youâll be ready for the rough stuff and efficient on smooth pavement.
Tossed out the window is the gravel geometry âstatus-quo.â The new Diverge has the most progressive geometry Specialized has ever created for a drop bar bike, giving riders a capable and stable bike in the dirt, that still feels responsive and nimble on the road. Increased is the frameâs reach, introduced a slacker head tube and a longer offset fork. All this creates incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt, while specâing shorter stems keeps the overall cockpit length the same and the steering lively. The bike keeps the bottom bracket low to increase stability, but high enough to utilise with 650b wheels if thatâs your jam.
Weâve given the Diverge plenty of rack mounts, including fork and top tube mounts, to ensure you can take what you need, no matter how far you plan to go, or how long you plan to stay out.
Nothing unlocks a bikeâs capability like tyre clearance, so given is a whopping 47mm of tyre clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1â with a 650b wheel. Thanks to a drive side chain stay utilising a solid beam of carbon behind the chain rings, there's clearance without using a fragile dropped chain stay design or increasing chain stay length.
The more capable your bike, the bigger your rides get, so Diverge borrows SWAT internal storage from the legendary Stumpy. The SWAT door lets you utilise space in the down tube to store tools, a flat kit, nutrition and even the SWAT Jacket. It keeps weight off your body, low in the bike for better handling, and makes you more self-sufficient, so get out there. SWATâs got your back.
