Specialized (United States) - Press Release: The all-new Diverge - The ultimate getaway vehicle.

With speed, control, and confidence on any terrain, Diverge is the most capable gravel bike ever made. Switching from Midwest gravel at Mach 5 to rutted single track with ease, nothing helps you escape faster than Diverge.

Dream big. No limits:

Far from the same old rides and the same busy roads, riders are challenging limits like never before. So we challenged ourselves to create a bike that does more than live up to the demands of today’s gravel rider. Diverge wants more—more speed, more distance, more challenge.

Future Shock 2.0:

Sure, we made Future Shock for cobbles, but turns out it’s the ultimate technology for riding rough road, thick gravel, and chunky dirt. Future Shock 2.0’s adjustable, hydraulically damped travel keeps you in control and on target, all while protecting your hands, arms, and shoulders from the battering.

Fatter is Funner:

Nothing unlocks potential like tire clearance. Luckily, we’re feeling generous. Very generous—47mm on a 700c wheel and 2.1” on 650B. Crazy, we know, but wait until you rip a descent with that much rubber. Hallelujah!

Chainstays Reinvented:

We wanted mega-tire clearance, but we didn’t want to resort to long chainstays or a heavy, vulnerable, dropped-stay design. The answer? Our drive side chainstay is a narrow, solid beam of carbon between the tire and chainrings. You can have your cake and eat it too.

Innovate or Die:

Sure, we’ve got super computers, we even 3D print saddles these days. But when our team decided to reinvent gravel geometry, no equation could tell us what was right, so we grabbed a hacksaw and some carbon fiber and got our hands dirty.

Everything you need, right where you need it:

The Diverge’s internal SWAT™ compartment takes gear out of your pockets and puts it low in the frame, improving handling and keeping you more comfortable. Go ahead and rip past that first aid station, or take extra gear to escape farther into the unknown. SWAT™ pods keep it all dry and organized.

Super fast, super capable, super light:

At under 1,000 grams the Diverge’s frame is lighter than most stripped-down gravel race frames with skimpy clearance, while being more capable than anything else in the gravel. Climb it, race it, or load it down with packs and fenders for the long haul, Diverge does it all, faster and lighter than the rest.
