The S-Works Diverge is a versatile adventure bike that will push you to the top of your game, intensify your daily commute and take you on an adventure every time your wheels start turning. Performing exceedingly as a road bike, the S-Works Diverge gives you confidence and comfort as a cross bike as well as for road riding. Understanding the needs of riders who not only wish to ride a tarmac road to work but take on different terrains without investing in a cyclocross bike has reinvented the Diverge.
Tyre clearance has been accustomed for the frame to fit up to 700x42mm tyres whilst the style of the Roubaix has been adapted to develop a superbly lightweight yet durable 900g FACT 11r carbon frame that means your riding is enhanced and not hindered by additional weight. The lightweight S-Works carbon fork supports your handling with its effective stiffness and rigidity. Open Road Geometry has replaced the conventional 'cross geometry, delivering versatile handling and precise steering to allow you to take to the trails with confidence. The Open Road Geometry comprises a bottom bracket which is over 50mm lower than the 2017 Diverge, a slacker head tube angle, short chainstays and a short wheelbase, resulting in a bike that is as much fun on a trail as it is on the road.
An upgraded version of Specialized's Future Shock has equipped the bike to take bumps with ease whilst maintaining precise handling. This is achieved by the wheelbase not lengthening when you hit a bump, steadying the head tube angle whether you are taking to the gravel or dirt road which means no surprises with steering or handling when you come to a hard turn. The new Future Shock encompases a progressive spring to help the bike handle off-road riding better than it's predecessor with stiffer suspension offering 20mm of travel. To create the lightest adventure bike, the S-Works Diverge combines an XTR Di2 derailleur with R785 Di2 shifters, hydraulic disc brakes, an Easton EC90 SL Carbon crankset, lightweight and aerodynamic Roval CLX 32 disc wheels and a carbon Command Post XCP which offers 35mm of travel. The package is completed for your bikepacking adventure or cycle commute with three water bottle mounts, mounts for racks and mudguards, and a Road SWAT™ kit that fits a tube, CO2, CO2 head, valve extender, and money clip.
Whoever thought you could create such an adventure on a drop-bar-bike.
