Specialized Diverge E5 Disc Gravel Bike 2022
A perfect steed for long bikepacking trips or quick off-road blasts after work, the Specialized Diverge E5 Disc Gravel Bike utilises a light and efficient aluminium frame and a full carbon fork to deliver an enthused and reliable ride. The frameset geometry is longer and slacker to promote increased composure and balance when the tracks are at their roughest, while generous tyre clearance when using either 700c or 650b wheels allows broad, plush rubber to be used for extra traction and control on technical terrain.
Luggage, bottle and nutrition pouch mounts across the frameset facilitate long days in the saddle, and mudguard bosses give the opportunity of increased protection from rain and mud. Light but strong wheels are turned by Shimano 2×8-speed gears that grant a wide range of ratios to combat challenging topography. Mechanical disc brakes complete the build, donating confidence-inspiring stopping power, even during the soggiest rides.
