Smoother is Faster. Proven
Nothing is Faster than Diverge STR on Rough Terrain

Smoother is Faster. Proven

Suspend The Rider (STR) technology not only eats up impacts so your body doesn’t have to, but it also reduces rolling resistance to keep you rolling faster on rough terrain with up to a massive 11.3 watts of savings—all proven by the Sports University of Cologne.

Future Shock 3.0
Smoother is Faster

Future Shock 3.0

Smoother is faster comes from suspending the rider, not the bike. As rough roads impact your front wheel, all-new Future Shock 3.0 and its 20mm of travel keep you floating above the chaos, reducing impacts up to 53% vs. the competition.

Rear Future Shock
30MM OF REAR TRAVEL

Rear Future Shock

Fully tunable for rider weight, height, and riding style. On-the-fly adjustability at your fingertips. Rear triangle remains rigid for crisp power transfer. Dropper post compatible, with no drawbacks.

Absurd Capability
47MM TYRE CLEARANCE & SWAT™

Absurd Capability

47mm on a 700c wheel and 2.1” on 650B tyre clearance. Internal SWAT™ compartment puts everything you need right where you need it. Geometry that amplifies the confidence Future Shock Technology delivers.

Diverge STR

“It almost seems like you're floating over the ground instead of rolling across it . . . the slightest road or trail imperfection is totally erased.”

James Huang, Head of Tech - CyclingTips

“Coupling both increased comfort with improved performance is an ever-elusive goal in bike design, and it's hard to argue that Specialized hasn't nailed it.”

Peter Stuart, Editor - CyclingNews

“Sorry Aladdin, your flying carpet has competition!”

Robin Schmitt, Editor - Granfondo

With Future Shock suspension front and rear, the new Diverge STR delivers compliance without compromise. By suspending the rider—instead of the bike—Future Shock technology increases control and efficiency while decreasing fatigue, so you’ll be riding farther and faster over chunkier terrain than you believed possible. And the Diverge STR does this without the weight, sluggish pedal response, and inefficiency of other suspension systems. The Diverge STR Comp starts with our FACT 11r carbon frameset with front and rear Future Shock suspension. It’s built with Shimano's new GRX820 groupset for fast, efficient shifting with a 10-51 cassette to ensure you have the gearing to tackle any ride. The bike rolls on the DT G540 wheels with 42mm Tracer Pro tires. Adventure Gear alloy handlebars, an S-Works carbon seatpost, and Power Sport saddle complete the package making the Diverge STR the most capable Diverge ever.

  • The new Diverge doesn’t just have gorgeous lines, it has perfect curves too. Future Shock Rear puts 30mm of rear travel in the ideal path to smooth out rough road. Its hydraulic damping controls travel to eliminate “bobbing” under power and ensure big hits never catapult you from the saddle, all without compromising fit or pedaling efficiency.

  • By suspending the rider with damped, tunable travel—20mm front/30mm rear—Future Shock Technology absorbs bump forces to boost your control and capability while retaining the efficiency and responsiveness of a rigid frame. Because as far as power transfer goes, it is a rigid frame. Power to the pedals makes the bike jump like a scared cat. You’re efficient, you’re comfortable, you’re in control. Your bike is light, nimble, and responsive.

  • Born from decades of innovation and our Smoother is Faster philosophy, Future Shock was created to develop bikes that win on cobblestones, but it’s found its purest expression on gravel. It’s 20mm of adjustable, damped front travel that keeps you in control and on target, all while protecting your hands, arms, and shoulders from the battering.

  • More capability means more confidence, more confidence means more rides, more rides mean more fun, and it all starts at the contact patch. Nothing unlocks capability like tire clearance, and we’re feeling generous. 47mm on a 700c wheel and 2.1” on 650B. Diverge STR is the most capable gravel bike we’ve ever made, so it’s the most fun. We did the math.

Diverge STR Comp

This is a first impression considering I've done just a couple of rides. The bike is very comfortable and the future shock front and rear works as advertised. The new Shimano drive train and components are very good, the cassette has a wide range of gears and I enjoy that 51 sprocket on very steep climbs. I'm glad Specialized created this comp version of the STR, it reduces the cost and I can see more value in my purchased. It's currently on sale and I think that for the price it's a decent deal.
