Whether you’re looking to escape on gravel back roads away from cars and crowds or lead the pack in your favourite gravel race, the new Specialized Diverge Gravel Bike is unparalleled. It’s the fastest, most capable, and arguably the most fun bike Specialized have ever created, offering a ride that’s quick and responsive under power while being stable and confidence-inspiring on rough terrain. Featuring Future Shock 2.0, innovative gravel geometry, internal storage, and leading tire clearance, the new Diverge encapsulates over 40 years of road, gravel, and dirt riding expertise. It sets a new standard in the gravel bike category, allowing you to envision new adventures. This is the ultimate getaway vehicle.
Diverge Comp Carbon: Performance and Fun. The Diverge Comp Carbon boasts the same revolutionary FACT 9r Carbon frame and Future Shock 2.0 as Specialized's Pro model, but comes equipped with Shimano’s mechanical shifting GRX 2x11 gravel group. The alloy DT Swiss G540 wheels ensure efficient rolling, while the Kanza-winning Pathfinder Pro 42mm tyres deliver exceptional performance on smooth pavement, dirt roads, and gravel tracks. For a perfectly balanced ride, it has been paired with Roval’s Terra seat post.
With its FACT 9r carbon frame, the Diverge Comp is both highly capable and race-light. Whether you’re chasing a local dirt climb KOM or tackling a massive backcountry peak, the light and lively Diverge will get you there faster.
Future Shock 2.0: Speed, Control, and Confidence. Future Shock 2.0 is the pinnacle of technology for gravel riders, offering 20mm of axial compliance and a hydraulic damper. This system suspends the rider, not the bike, keeping you 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. The adjustable damper ensures you’re prepared for both rough trails and smooth pavement.
Versatile and Prepared for Any Adventure. The Diverge is equipped with ample rack mounts, including on the fork and top tube, so you can bring everything you need, regardless of your journey’s distance or duration. 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. Tyre clearance is crucial for unlocking a bike’s full potential, which is why the new Diverge offers an impressive 47mm of tyre clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1” with a 650b wheel. This is achieved with a solid beam of carbon behind the chainrings on the drive side chainstay, avoiding the need for a fragile dropped chainstay design or an increase in chainstay length.
SWAT Internal Storage: Ready for Anything. Drawing from 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 Specialized's SWAT Jacket. This system keeps weight off your body and low in the bike for better handling, enhancing self-sufficiency. So, head out with confidence, SWAT’s got your back.
