2021 Specialized Diverge Comp E5 Evo Gravel Road Bike - Satin Forest

Gravel riding is constantlyl evolving and still being defined. If you're looking for the next level of gravel rides, this is it. The Diverge Comp E5 Evo is designed to get aggressive, and to push the boundaries of what you thought was possible on a gravel bike. With flat bars and an even more progressive geometry, the new drop bar Diverge will satisfy your adventure cravings. The reach has been significantly increased, the head tube has been slackened and the bottom bracket lowered, to put you ‘in’ the bike for a super planted feeling. From sending technical single track to ripping flowing fire road descents, if you’re looking for a partner to take your gravel riding to new levels, nothing’s faster, more fun, or rowdier than the Diverge EVO.

• A Premium E5 Aluminium frame provides a stiff, light, and durable platform. When mated to a full carbon FACT fork, the Diverge EVO becomes a light, lively and versatile bike ready to tackle the most technical gravel and dirt as aggressively as you could wish.
• Speed, control and confidence - Future Shock 1.5 is ideal technology for the gravel rider. With 20mm of axial compliance, Future Shock 1.5 is progressively tuned to keep 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.
• With the Diverge EVO, the new progressive gravel geometry was taken to new levels. The frame has been lengthened 30mm over a drop bar Diverge (Size Medium), the bottom bracket lowered and the head tube slackened. This gives the Diverge EVO more confidence over technical terrain while keeping the cockpit comfortable with flat bars.
• It also allows for a short stem to make all that stability feel nimble and quick at the bars.
• Nothing unlocks a bike’s capability like tyre clearance, so the Diverge EVO was given a whopping 47mm of tyre clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1” with a 650b wheel.
• Thanks to a drive side chain stay utilising a machined alloy beam behind the chain rings clearance was created without using a fragile dropped chain stay design or increasing chain stay length.
