Specialized Drops Its “Fastest” and "Most Capable" Gravel Bike To-Date

Following the launch of its revolutionary Aethos last month, cycling aficionado Specialized now turns its focus to the adventure and gravel sector to unveil its all-new Diverge Expert Carbon.

Heralded as the brand’s “fastest” and “most capable” bike yet, the Diverge promises to deliver a quick and stable ride across the roughest of terrain thanks to its category-leading tire clearance and super-light FACT 9r carbon frame.

This, combined with all-new gravel geometry, internal storage, Future Shock 2.0 and Shimano’s new gravel-inspired GRX Di2 1×11 gears, delivers a bike designed for faster and more confident riding, across all kinds of surfaces.

DT Swiss G540 alloy wheels ensure performance is kept to the highest level across smoother roads too, with a Roval Terra seat post keeping things in check for an all-round ultimate ride.

Dressed in a “Raspberry/Redwood/Black/Chrome/Wild Ferns” colorway, Specialized’s new Diverge Expert Carbon is available in various sizes now from the brand’s online webstore.
