Whether you’re aiming to explore gravel back roads far from the hustle and bustle or to lead the pack in your favourite gravel race, the new Specialized Diverge Gravel Bike is unmatched. It’s the fastest, most capable, and possibly the most fun, bike Specialized have ever crafted. It delivers a ride that’s quick and lively under power yet stable and confidence-inspiring when the terrain gets rough. With features like Future Shock 2.0, all-new gravel geometry, internal storage, and leading tyre clearance, the new Diverge embodies over 40 years of road, gravel, and dirt riding expertise. It redefines the gravel bike category, allowing you to envision entirely new adventures. This is the ultimate getaway vehicle.
Equipped with a FACT 9r carbon frame and Future Shock 2.0, the Diverge Expert enables you to ride faster and more confidently over diverse terrains than you ever thought possible. The SRAM wireless Rival eTap AXS 12-speed groupset ensures quick, crisp shifting, while Roval Terra Carbon wheels paired with Pathfinder Pro 42mm tyres deliver excellent performance on smooth pavement, dirt roads, and gravel tracks. The Roval Terra seat post keeps the Diverge Expert perfectly balanced for an unparalleled riding experience.
Lightweight and Capable. The Diverge Expert’s FACT 9r carbon frame is both incredibly capable and race-bike light. Whether you’re targeting a local dirt climb KOM or tackling a massive backcountry peak, the light and agile Diverge will get you there faster.
Speed, Control, and Confidence. Future Shock 2.0 is the ultimate technology for gravel riders, providing 20mm of axial compliance and a hydraulic damper. This system suspends the rider, not the bike, ensuring you remain confident and in control. You’ll be able to maintain power and avoid braking on rough dirt roads and loose gravel while keeping your hands, arms, and neck fresh. With an adjustable damper, Future Shock 2.0 is ready for both rugged trails and smooth pavement.
Progressive Gravel Geometry. Specialized have redefined gravel geometry with the new Diverge. It’s the most progressive design they’ve ever created for a drop-bar bike, offering a capable and stable ride on dirt while remaining responsive and nimble on the road. The frame’s reach has been extended, the head tube slackened, and the fork offset increased. This results in a planted feel on dirt, while shorter stems keep the overall cockpit length and steering lively. The bike’s low bottom bracket enhances stability but is high enough to accommodate 650b wheels if preferred.
Ready for Any Adventure. The Diverge is equipped with ample rack mounts, including on the fork and top tube, so you can carry everything you need, regardless of how far or how long your journey is. Note that all carbon models require an aftermarket seatpost clamp with a rack mount to install a rear rack (Part Number: S184700001).
Unmatched Tyre Clearance. To unlock the bike’s full potential, the new Diverge offers an impressive 47mm of tyre clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1” with a 650b wheel. This is achieved using a solid beam of carbon behind the chainrings on the drive side chainstay, avoiding the need for a fragile dropped chainstay design or increased chainstay length.
SWAT Internal Storage. Inspired by the legendary Stumpy, the Diverge features SWAT internal storage. The SWAT door allows you to utilise space in the down tube to store tools, a flat kit, nutrition, and even a SWAT Jacket. This system keeps weight off your body and low in the bike for better handling, enhancing self-sufficiency. So, get out there with confidence, SWAT’s got your back.
