Description
The 2022 Specialized Diverge Expert Carbon Gravel Bike in Gloss Teal Tint is designed to be quick and lively under power, but stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough. It can handle everything from exploring your local lanes to full on gravel racing.With a FACT 9r carbon frame and Future Shock 2.0 the Diverge Expert will have you riding faster and more confidently over more terrain than you ever imagined possible. Future Shock 2.0 is the ultimate technology for the gravel rider. With 20mm of axial compliance and a hydraulic damper, Future Shock 2.0 suspends the rider not the bike.

Since Future Shock 2.0’s damper is adjustable, you’ll be ready for the rough stuff and efficient on smooth pavement.The new Diverge has the most progressive geometry Specialized have ever created for a drop bar bike, giving riders a capable and stable bike in the dirt, that still feels responsive and nimble on the road. They’ve increased the frame’s reach, introduced a slacker head tube and a longer offset fork. All this creates incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt, while spec’ing shorter stems keeps the overall cockpit length the same and the steering lively. Specialized have also given the Diverge plenty of rack mounts, including fork and top tube mounts, to ensure you can take what you need, no matter how far you plan to go, or how long you plan to stay out. The frame can take tyres up to a 700x47c or a 650 x2.1The Diverge Expert comes with SRAM's wireless Rival eTap AXS 12-speed groupset which delivers quick, crisp shifting.
