Your rides know no bounds
Speed, control, and confidence on all terrains, the Diverge is the most capable Gravel bike ever designed. Go from gravel tracks to actual rutted paths with ease; nothing helps you escape faster than the Diverge. Far from the idea of repetitive rides and crowded roads, riders want to push boundaries like never before. Specialized therefore set out to create a bike that goes beyond meeting the demands of today's Gravel rider. The Diverge aspires to more - more speed, more distance, more challenges.

Futureshock 2.0

Of course, Future Shock was created for cobblestones, but it turns out to be the ultimate technology for riding on rough roads, gravel, and dirt. The adjustable hydraulic damping of the Future Shock 2.0 allows you to maintain control and direction, while relieving your hands, arms, and shoulders from impacts. With its 20mm of travel, it will provide you with the necessary comfort in any situation.

New geometry

Longer and more stable, the new Diverge drew inspiration from its cousin the Epic. With a more open head tube angle, a longer reach, and a shorter cockpit, the new Diverge is more stable and will allow you to maintain control in any situation. The bottom bracket has been raised by 6mm, thus improving ground clearance. But with an 80mm drop, it remains one of the lowest gravel bikes on the market, for optimal stability. Also, its short 425mm chainstays give it unparalleled responsiveness. The overall geometry offers the perfect mix of comfort and performance. See the new geometry (orange) vs. the old geometry (grey) below.

SWAT internal storage

The Diverge's SWAT storage allows you to carry gear not in your pockets, but directly in the frame, improving handling while being more comfortable on the bike. Go ahead and pass that first aid station, or pick up extra gear to venture further into the unknown, all without worry. The two SWAT pockets will keep all your belongings dry and organized.
