2020 Specialized Diverge Sport Disc Gravel Bike (GERACYCLES)

With the popularity of gravel riding increasing, the Specialized Diverge Sport Disc Gravel Bike is one for riders looking for performance, versatility and practicality. The FACT 9r carbon frame and fork use an Open Road Geometry with slacker head tube angle, shorter chainstays and a lower bottom bracket than the predecessor, to make it a fun ride that feels fast and stable. Progressive Future Shock Suspension puts 20mm of travel under the stem to help soften impacts, increasing control, while 38mm tyres bring further comfort. You can fit even wider tyres if you wish.

Features

Specialized FACT 9r carbon frame and fork
Open Road Geometry offers playful handling and predictable steering for endless dirt skids and mid-corner drifts, but keeps stiffness high
Bottom bracket over half a centimetre lower than the previous Diverge, slacker head tube angle, shortened chainstays, shorter wheelbase
Future Shock soaks up bumps with ease, and also adds the benefit of extremely predictable handling. Features a progressive spring that makes the technology more suitable for off-road applications, where stiffer suspension is often needed to soak-up larger bumps and obstacles
Clearance for either 700x42mm or 650bx47mm tyres
Three water bottle mounts, mounts for racks and mudguards, and for the Road SWAT™ kit (purchased separately)
