Features

• With a premium E5 alloy frame and a full carbon FACT fork the Diverge E5 delivers a fast, confident and comfortable ride on road, in the dirt, and over thick gravel. Shimano’s Claris 2x8 group gives a wide range of gears for any terrain, while Axis Elite alloy wheels and Pathfinder Sport 38mm tires provide an efficient ride on pavement with the versatility for hard pack dirt riding.
• The Premium E5 Aluminum frame provides a stiff, light, and durable platform. When mated to the full carbon FACT fork, the Diverge Base E5 becomes a light, lively and versatile bike ready to attack any surface.
• The new Diverge has the most progressive geometry Specialized 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. Specialized has 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 has maintained the bike’s BB low to increase stability, but high enough to utilize with 650b wheels if that’s your jam.
• Specialized has also endowed 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 ou
• Nothing unlocks a bike’s capability like tire clearance: the new Diverge a whopping 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1” with a 650b wheel. Thanks to a drive side chain stay utilizing a machined alloy beam behind the chain rings Specialized created clearance without using a fragile dropped chain stay design or increasing chain stay length.
