Large Tire Clearance – Nothing unlocks a bike’s capability like tire clearance, so Specialized gave the new Diverge a whopping 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1” with a 650b wheel.

Progressive Geometry – The new Diverge has the most progressive geometry Specialized has ever created for a drop bar bike, giving riders a capable and stable bike in the dirt that still feels responsive and nimble on the road. They've increased the frame’s reach, introduced a slacker head tube and a longer offset fork. All this creates incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt while spec’ing shorter stems keeps the overall cockpit length the same and the steering lively. The bike’s low BB increases stability but is still high enough to utilize with 650b wheels if that’s your jam.

Future Shock 1.5 – With 20mm of axial compliance, Future Shock 1.5 is progressively tuned specifically for gravel riding.

FACT 8r Carbon Frame – With a FACT 8r carbon frame, the Diverge Sport frame is incredible capable and race bike light. Pin it for your local dirt climb KOM, or grind up a giant back country peak, the light and lively Diverge will get you there faster.

Rack Mount Options – This frame has plenty of rack mounts, including fork and top tube mounts, to ensure you can take what you need. No matter how far you plan to go or how long you plan to stay out, there's room.
