The Specialized Diverge Comp E5 gravel road bike has everything you need for pretty much any pedal-powered adventure—whether it's gravel racing, bikepacking, or weekend shredding. The Premium E5 Aluminum frameset features Specialized's comfortable and confident Open Road Geometry, and is equipped with the Future Shock suspension system.
You can think of the Diverge's geometry as a road version of a modern trail bike. It provides playful handling and predictable steering for playful riding, but keeps stiffness up to satisfy your inner-racer. Along with a bottom bracket that's over a half-centimeter lower than the previous Diverge, Specialized also slackened the head tube angle, shortened the chainstays, and made a shorter wheelbase. The result is a bike that performs equally well over both the dirt and road.
However, there's only so much that wider tires with lower pressures can absorb when it comes to bumps, so this is where Specialized's Future Shock comes into play. It not only soaks up bumps with ease, but it also adds the benefit of extremely predictable handling. That's because the wheelbase isn't changing when you hit a bump, so when you dive hard into a turn, you won't be caught out by under-steer or sloppy handling. The Diverge's version also gets a special treatment featuring a progressive spring that makes this technology more suitable for off-road applications, where stiffer suspension is often needed to soak-up larger bumps and obstacles.
