Specialized Diverge Sport Carbon Gravel Bike
Utilising its light, robust and laterally stiff FACT 8r carbon frameset, the Specialized Diverge Sport Carbon Gravel Bike infuses speed into any challenging weekend blast or daylong adventure across previously uncharted territory. The frameset’s detailed carbon layup works in unison with the Future Shock 1.5 steerer tube damper to provide generous amounts of compliance over rough surfaces. A longer and slacker geometry grants stable and composed handling, and wide tyre clearance for either 700c or 650b wheels means that more voluminous, grippier rubber can be used when the terrain is at its most rugged.
Luggage rack, top tube and fork mounts afford plenty of storage options when riding long, and light but robust wheels are responsive and dependable. SRAM Apex 11-speed gears and a single chainring format are smooth and straightforward in operation and easy to maintain, while hydraulic disc brakes give excellent stopping power and control, even in bad weather.
