Product Details

Whether your goal is to escape on gravel back roads, far from cars and crowds, or drop the hammer at the front of your favorite gravel race, no bike does it better than the new Diverge. It’s quite simply the fastest, most capable - and just maybe the most fun - bike we’ve ever made, delivering a ride that’s quick and lively under power, but stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough. From Future Shock 2.0 and all-new gravel geometry, to internal storage and category leading tire clearance, the new Diverge represents everything we’ve learned over more than 40 years of riding road, gravel and dirt. The Diverge writes an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category, so you can dream up entirely new rides. It’s the ultimate getaway vehicle.

Imagine your biggest ride, dream of gravel racing glory, Diverge Pro’s your partner in crime. It all starts with a FACT 9r carbon frame and Future Shock 2.0 for a light and lively ride that’s incredibly stable and confidence inspiring. A huge range of gears, flawless shifts in any terrain, and a simple, wireless 1x set-up is provided by SRAM’s Force AXS eTap group and SRAM’s Orbit fluid clutch. Roval’s ultralight and super tough Terra CL wheels with Unbound winning Pathfinder Pro 38mm tires deliver the most versatile and capable combination for mixed surface and challenging terrain, while a Roval Terra seat post ensures the Diverge Pro is perfectly balanced for the ultimate ride.

With a FACT 9r carbon frame, the Diverge Expert 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.
Speed, control and confidence - Future Shock 2.0 is the ultimate technology for the gravel rider. With 20mm of axial compliance and a hydraulic damper, Future Shock 2.0 suspends the rider not the bike. This keeps you confident and in control, able to keep the power down and stay off the brakes over rough dirt roads and in thick loose gravel, all while keeping your hands, arms and neck fresh. Since Future Shock 2.0’s damper is adjustable, you’ll be ready for the rough stuff and efficient on smooth pavement.
We tossed gravel geometry ‘status-quo’ out the window. The new Diverge has the most progressive geometry we’ve 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. We’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. We’ve kept the bike’s BB low to increase stability, but high enough to utilize with 650b wheels if that’s your jam.
We’ve given the Diverge 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. Note: all carbon models will need an aftermarket seatpost clamp with rack mount to install a rear rack. (Part Number: S184700001).
Nothing unlocks a bike’s capability like tire clearance, so we gave the new Diverge a whopping 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1” with a 650b wheel. Thanks to a drive side chain stay utilizing a solid beam of carbon behind the chain rings we’ve created clearance without using a fragile dropped chain stay design or increasing chain stay length.
The more capable your bike, the bigger your rides get, so Diverge borrows SWAT internal storage from the legendary Stumpy. The SWAT door lets you utilize space in the down tube to store tools, a flat kit, nutrition and even our SWAT Jacket. It keeps weight off your body, low in the bike for better handling, and makes you more self-sufficient, so get out there. SWAT’s got your back.

Faded Paint, No support.

Have owned dozens of bikes of all types over the years, including 15 or more Specialized bikes and none has ever had any paint issues until my formerly red Diverge Pro. The paint began fading within one year and by two years was dramatically faded to a pale orange in areas. Looks terrible and certainly destroys any resale value. Didn’t know the warranty on paint is only two years not lifetime and so reported a few months after expiration and turned away for any solution even though the issue clearly predates the warranty expiration.

Hybrid In Its Truest Form

With the Future Shock 2.0 in the front and hard back, to tire width, and a frame that can handle on and off the road, the Diverge Carbon Pro truly is a proper hybrid bicycle. I have ridden mine in the muddy swamp/lowland areas in North Carolina, the gravel trails and dirt roads of West Virginia, and the hills and seaside cliffs of California all with proper control and ease. The SRAM Force eTap AXS holds its charge for a very long time in case you forget to charge it, and the 12 gears allow me to speed down roads and climb up steep hills all on the same bike. The only possible downside to the Carbon Pro would be that it is low to the ground, which some folks might not like if they want to sit up higher from the ground whilst riding. With its roots in gravel, the low ride is what you get and tends to be what I prefer on most terrains. Lightweight, responsive, and go anywhere, the Carbon Pro is the only bike I own.

A bike that can do it all!

We all know you need a bike for every scenario, BUT if there was one bike to handle most terrains, this is it. On the road, it is as smooth as butter and rides like an endurance bike. On gravel, it does a great job of keeping you planted on the bike and the trail with gearing that will get you up the steepest climbs. The build components are top notch and is my favorite bike of the many I own. The one downside to this ride is really the fact that I don't want to ride my other bikes anymore because this is so much fun. If you don't have a gravel/adventure bike, this is it. And if you do have one, this is probably better.

This bike makes me so

This bike makes me so happy! It is nimble, the shifting is so smooth and it climbs well. Best of all the 49 fits me. I am five feet tall and it is difficult to find a good fit with bikes. Thank you Specialized for creating the perfect gravel rig.
