The Specialized Diverge Base Carbon 2021 Gravel Road Bike is the ideal bike to escape on gravel back roads far from cars and crowds. This versatile gravel road bike is the fastest, most capable - and just maybe the most fun – alloy bike Specialized have ever made, delivering a ride that’s quick and lively, but stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough.
The Diverge Base Carbon has Specialized’s Future Shock 1.5 and a FACT 8r carbon frame for a fast, confident and comfortable ride on road, in the dirt, and over thick gravel. SRAM’s APEX 1x11 mechanical shifting and alloy Axis Elite wheels make the Diverge Base as capable as it is versatile. Specialized’s Pathfinder Sport 38mm tires provide the right contact patch for performance across multiple surfaces - pavement, dirt and gravel - providing even more versatility.
From Future Shock 1.5 and all-new gravel geometry, to category leading tire clearance, the new Diverge represents everything Specialized have learned over more than 40 years of riding road, gravel and dirt. The Diverge writes an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category, so you can dream up entirely new rides. It’s the ultimate getaway vehicle.
