When it comes to Geometry, the Diverge breaks the rules celebrating some of the most progressive geometry Specialized have created for a drop-bar bike to create a capable and stable bike in the dirt, that still feels responsive and agile on the road. The frame's reach is increased, introduced a slacker head tube and a longer offset fork. All this creates incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt; shorter stems keep the overall cockpit length the same and the steering lively. All this and the Bottom Bracket is low to increase stability, but high enough to accommodate 650b wheels that's your jam. Tyre clearance dictates a lot, so the Diverge has a massive 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1" with a 650b wheel. Thanks to a drive-side chainstay utilizing a solid beam of carbon behind the chainrings Specialized created clearance without using a fragile dropped chainstay design or increasing chainstay length. All of the above gives you an extremely capable bike which means bigger rides. The Diverge borrows the SWAT internal storage from the Stumpy. The SWAT door lets you use the down tube to store tools a flat kit, nutrition and even Specialized's SWAT Jacket.
