Description
This thing called ‘gravel riding’ is still evolving, still being defined. What’s next? Hop on the new Diverge Expert EVO and you tell us. It’s designed to get aggressive, to push the boundaries of what we thought was possible on a gravel bike. With flat bars and geometry even more progressive then the new drop bar Diverge you better hang onto your flannel. The reach has been significantly increased, the head tube slackened and the bottom bracket lowered , to put you ‘in’ the bike for a super planted feeling. From sending technical single track to ripping flowing fire road descents, if you’re looking for a partner to take your gravel riding to new levels, nothing’s faster, more fun, or rowdier than the Diverge EVO.
- The Premium E5 Aluminium frame provides a stiff, light, and durable platform. When mated to the full carbon FACT fork, the Diverge EVO becomes a light, lively and Specialized Diverge Expert versatile bike ready to tackle the most technical gravel and dirt as aggressively as you could wish.
- Speed, control and confidence – Future Shock 2.0 is ideal technology for the gravel rider. With 20mm of axial compliance, Future Shock 2.0 is progressively tuned specifically for gravel riding. This keeps you confident and in control, able to keep the power down and stay off the brakes over rough dirt roads and in thick loose gravel, all while keeping your hands, arms and neck fresh.
- With the Diverge EVO, we took our new progressive gravel geometry to new levels. We’ve lengthened the frame 30mm over a drop bar Diverge (Size Medium), lowered the bottom bracket and slackened the head tube. This gives the Diverge EVO more confidence over technical terrain while keeping the cockpit comfortable with flat bars. It also allows for a short stem to make all that stability feel nimble and quick at the bars.
