Specialized Diverge STR Expert 2024

The new Diverge STR Expert with Future Shock front and rear suspension is comfortable without compromising performance. By absorbing small shocks, control and efficiency are improved and, at the same time, fatigue is reduced, so you can ride longer and faster. The Diverge STR Expert has a FACT 11r carbon fibre frame and SRAM Rival eTap AXS Eagle drivetrain with 10-50 cassette. It is equipped with Roval Terra C wheels and 42mm Tracer Pro tyres, alloy Adventure handlebars, S-Works carbon seatpost and Power Expert saddle.

The 20mm travel on the front wheel and 30mm on the rear wheel absorbs shocks and improves control, efficiency and responsiveness. In terms of power transfer, however, it is entirely similar to a rigid bike. The hydraulic damping of the new Diverge STR prevents 'bobbing' under stress. You won't catapult out of the saddle when you hit an obstacle on the trail, and pedalling efficiency remains intact.

Future Shock is the latest development in the Specialized 'Smoother is Faster' philosophy of comfort and performance. It was created to cope with cobblestones and is perfectly suited for gravel. The 20mm of front travel spares your hands, arms and shoulders, and allows you to pedal with greater comfort. More capacity means riding with more safety and confidence. With the large contact patch of the 47c tyres on the 700 wheel or 2.1" on the 27.5 wheel, the Diverge STR is the most capable gravel bike Specialized has ever made.
