Conquer any gravel trail with confidence on the Specialized Diverge STR Comp Gravel Bike, engineered for maximum control, comfort, and efficiency on rough terrain. Featuring Future Shock front and rear suspension, this high-performance carbon gravel bike suspends the rider instead of the bike, reducing fatigue, improving stability, and allowing you to ride further and faster on challenging surfaces. Unlike traditional suspension systems, the Diverge STR maintains lightweight efficiency, responsive pedaling, and precise power transfer.
The FACT 11r carbon frame pairs with 20mm front and 30mm rear Future Shock suspension, providing tunable compliance for a smooth ride without compromising handling or efficiency. Equipped with Shimano GRX 820 drivetrain and a wide 10-51T cassette, the Diverge STR Comp ensures reliable, precise shifting for steep climbs, fast flats, and long gravel adventures. Rolling on DT G540 wheels with 42mm Specialized Tracer Pro tires, this gravel bike balances traction, speed, and stability across every surface.
Future Shock Suspension – Comfort and Control
The Future Shock Rear provides 30mm of travel with hydraulic damping, eliminating “bobbing” under power while smoothing out rough roads. The front suspension absorbs bumps, protecting your hands, arms, and shoulders, while maintaining a rigid-frame feel for direct and efficient power transfer. With 20mm of front travel and 30mm rear, the Diverge STR Comp delivers responsive, nimble handling with unmatched comfort over extended rides.
