Diverge Comp Carbon - Shimano GRX

Whether your goal is to escape on gravel back roads, far from cars and crowds, or drop the hammer at the front of your favorite gravel race, the new Diverge delivers a ride that's quick and lively under power, but stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough. From Future Shock 2.0 and all-new gravel geometry, to internal storage and category leading tire clearance, the new Diverge represents everything Specialized has learned over more than 40 years of riding road, gravel and dirt. The Diverge Comp Carbon features the same game-changing FACT 9r Carbon frame and Future Shock 2.0 as the Pro build, but is spec'd with Shimano's mechanical shifting GRX 2x11 gravel group. Alloy DT Swiss G540 wheels keep you rolling efficiently, while Kanza-winning Pathfinder Pro 42mm tires deliver performance across smooth pavement, dirt roads and gravel tracks. A Roval Terra seat post provides a perfectly balanced ride. With a FACT 9r carbon frame, the Diverge Comp is incredibly capable and race bike light, ready for local dirt climbs or grinding up giant backcountry peaks. Future Shock 2.0 suspension suspends the rider, not the bike, with 20mm of axial compliance and a hydraulic damper that keeps you confident and in control over rough dirt roads and thick loose gravel while maintaining efficiency on smooth pavement. The Diverge includes plenty of rack mounts on the fork and top tube to carry what you need for any adventure. The bike offers 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1" with a 650b wheel, achieved through a drive-side chain stay utilizing a solid beam of carbon. SWAT internal storage in the down tube lets you store tools, a flat kit, nutrition and gear, keeping weight off your body and low in the bike for better handling.
