Whether you're seeking to venture onto secluded gravel paths far from bustling traffic or aiming to lead the pack in your favourite gravel race, the new Specialized Diverge Gravel Bike stands out as the ultimate choice. It embodies speed, capability, and perhaps most importantly, sheer enjoyment, making it the fastest and most versatile bike they've ever produced. Offering a ride that's lively and responsive under power, yet stable and confidence-inspiring when the terrain turns rough, the Diverge sets a new standard in gravel biking.
Drawing on over four decades of experience, the Diverge Sport Carbon has been meticulously crafted to excel in this evolving sport. Featuring an innovative Future Shock 1.5 technology and a FACT 8r carbon frame, it delivers a fast, assured, and comfortable ride on various terrains, from paved roads to rugged gravel tracks. Equipped with Unbound-winning Pathfinder Pro 42mm tyres, the same high-performance rubber found on the S-Works Diverge, this bike is ready to take you on adventures of any length and speed.
The FACT 8r carbon frame of the Diverge Sport combines exceptional capability with the lightweight agility of a race bike. Whether tackling local dirt climb KOMs or conquering vast backcountry peaks, this nimble and energetic bike ensures you reach your destination swiftly.
For gravel riders, Future Shock 1.5 technology is a game-changer. Offering 20mm of axial compliance, it's finely tuned for gravel riding, providing confidence and control over rough terrain while minimising fatigue in your hands, arms, and neck.
Specialized have redefined gravel geometry with the new Diverge, creating the most progressive design ever seen on a drop-bar bike. Featuring increased frame reach, a slacker head tube, and a longer offset fork, this bike offers unparalleled stability and confidence on dirt trails, while maintaining responsiveness and agility on paved roads. The low bottom bracket enhances stability, while compatibility with 650b wheels adds versatility to your ride.
To cater to your adventure needs, the Diverge has been equipped with ample rack mounts, including fork and top tube mounts, ensuring you're prepared for any journey, no matter its length. Please note that all carbon models require an aftermarket seatpost clamp with a rack mount for rear rack installation (Part Number: S184700001).
Tyre clearance is essential for unlocking a bike's full potential, and the new Diverge delivers with an impressive 47mm of clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1 inches with a 650b wheel. Thanks to the drive-side chainstay design utilising a solid carbon beam, this clearance has been achieved without compromising on frame integrity or lengthening the chainstay.
