The Details
Built onto Specialized's Premium E5 aluminium frame and FACT full carbon fork, the Diverge provides a quick, comfortable and confidence-inspiring ride on any terrain from tarmac to thick gravel to dusty dirt roads. The Comp also features Specialized's Future Shock 1.5 which provides an additional suspension element in the handlebar, leading to a more comfortable ride and enhanced control over all terrain. The Future Shock provides 20mm of axial travel, taking the pressure and strain off your hands, arms and neck - keeping you fresher for longer.
With improved geometry including an increased frame reach, slacker head tube and longer offset fork, you're sure to feel planted and stable on the bike and ready to take on long and rough rides.
The SRAM Apex 1 x 11-speed groupset provides a wide range of smooth and crisp gears, while the Axis Elite alloy wheels with Pathfinder Sport 700x38mm tyres (with clearance for up to 47mm) make the Diverge E5 Comp even more capable with the ability to ride on pavement as well as the versatility to smash up the trails too.
The Diverge has been given plenty of mounting points including on the fork and top tube, so you can take with you whatever you need, no matter how far you plan to go. The Diverge is your ticket to riding more, exploring more and having a lot more fun when you're out.
