Diverge Comp E5 - SRAM Apex

Whether your goal is to escape on gravel back roads, far from cars and crowds, toe the start line at your first gravel race, or simply get the most versatile bike on the road or dirt, the new Diverge is the fastest, most capable, and most fun alloy bike available. It delivers a ride that's quick and lively, but stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough. The Diverge features Future Shock 1.5 suspension and all-new gravel geometry, combined with category-leading tire clearance. From over 40 years of riding road, gravel and dirt, Specialized has engineered the Diverge to represent an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category, enabling you to dream up entirely new rides. The Diverge Comp E5 starts with a premium E5 alloy frame and full carbon FACT fork, providing a stiff, light, and durable platform that becomes a light, lively and versatile bike ready to attack any surface. SRAM's all-new 12-speed Apex group shifts gears smoothly on any terrain, while Axis Elite alloy wheels with Pathfinder Pro 42mm tires add even more capability and versatility. The bike includes plenty of rack mounts on the fork and top tube, ensuring you can take what you need no matter how far you plan to go or how long you plan to stay out. The new Diverge offers a whopping 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1" with a 650b wheel, achieved through a drive side chain stay with a machined alloy beam behind the chainrings that creates clearance without a fragile dropped chain stay design or increased chain stay length.
