Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon Gravel Bike 2022
Whether you're looking to race on gravel, enjoy big off-road adventures or go bikepacking, the Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon Gravel Bike will excel. Not only highly capable and fun to ride, this bike is also fast, and stable when the terrain gets rough. A responsive FACT 9r carbon frame is paired to a Future Shock 2.0 fork with 20mm of travel to damp fatiguing lumps and bumps.
Gravel-specific geometry that is long and slack creates confidence-inspiring composure and maximises comfort. There's room for either 700c x 47mm or 650b x 2.1" tyres to suit rider preference and ride type, made possible by the use of a straight driveside chainstay design.
SRAM's Rival 1 mechanical drivetrain delivers smooth, reliable shifting and there is a wide gear range to suit every type of terrain. Hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can stop fast in all conditions. Robust DT Swiss G540 wheels are designed for the demands of gravel riding and are fitted with Pathfinder Pro tyres for a good balance of traction, fast rolling and puncture protection.
With a whole host of mounts included in the design, you can load up with all your kit and fit mudguards too. There's also an integrated SWAT door that provides internal downtube storage for tools and spares.
