Furthermore, the Diverge range - as a whole - caters for every kind of rider and budget imaginable, making it one of the most accessible bikes of its kind on the market. It can dismiss anything from fast-paced road rides and long-haul gravel adventures to CX-style lap racing with consummate ease.
The Specialized Diverge is the quintessential adventure bike. Other noteworthy components include an X-Fusion Manic dropper post which offers just 50mm of travel, Roval Terra CLX gravel wheels, an Easton EC70 AX Carbon bar with 16-degree flare, a Specialized S-Works Future Stem with integrated Bar Fly computer mount and an S-Works Power saddle. Often referred to as a mullet build, it combines eTap AXS road levers with an Eagle AXS rear derailleur and 10-50T cassette - an arrangement which fully complements the Diverge's multi-faceted skillset and left-field demeanour. The range-topping S-Works Diverge comes dressed in a combination of SRAM's road and mountain bike electronic components. The bottom bracket drop has been raised by 5mm for all frame sizes while the chainstays have marginally grown to 425mm. The fork has also received some adjustments and now boasts a longer offset while the trail number ensures greater steering response and front-end agility. The new model's geometry is more progressive than before featuring a slacker headtube angle, a longer reach and a shorter stem. Having sampled all three versions since its inception in 2014, the newest edition has taken an already winning formula and tempered it into yet another stellar offering - it's the best gravel bike Specialized has made to date. We've always been fervent admirers of the Specialized Diverge and its ever-evolving skillset. Dropper post is overkill and adds unnecessary weight
