Add big 700c rubber and you’re back up a bit, but by all standards, it’s low.The reach for the Diverge 56cm is 379mm, and the 613mm stack height is a little on the high side and brings the handlebars up high.There are three bottle mounting points, one under the down tube. You immediately notice a remarkable smoothness thanks to the Future Shock, which is quite active as long as your hands are on the bars.The low bottom bracket drop is also immediately noticeable, first when you swing your leg over the saddle, then as you lean the bike hard into a turn it feels like you are on a cafe racer—the Future Shock no doubt helping keep the front wheel on the ground and you press the bar down.For my 155 pounds of rider weight, I used the installed stiffest spring in the Future Shock. Aluminum models get a special chainstay forging to improve clearance, but, “We couldn’t quite get the same wizardry out of alloy as we could out of carbon,” said Stewart Thompson, Specialized road and gravel category leader.
But the new 9r frame (used by the Pro Carbon, Expert Carbon, and Comp Carbon models) weighs 1,095g; that’s about 55 grams lighter than the previous generation. Most models have the Future Shock for additional comfort, and Specialized also built some smoothing features into the frames.“On the frame side, our dropped seat stays are a big help, and the chainstays are just a few millimeters longer as well,” said Thompson. © C. Lee / Cyclocross MagazineThe rear derailleur is a SRAM Force 1 model, and the KMC X11 EL chain shifts across a 10-42t SRAM XG-1150 cassette mounted on an XD driver.The 1x drivetrain features a SRAM Force 1 rear derailleur and a spinny 10-42t cassette spread. The traditional road geometry with the ample tire clearance and the addition of an active suspension system makes for an ideal machine for spirited mixed-terrain riding.The smoothing effect of the Future Shock and the stability of the low bottom bracket render the bike suitable for long days in the saddle. Your position will be a bit more upright, and with the longer wheelbase and lower bottom bracket, the ride will be more stable in comparison. A new 56cm Diverge has a 38mm longer wheelbase and a 13mm longer reach than the previous model.

That’s 1.5 -2.5cm lower than most cyclocross bikes and 1.0-1.5 lower than most gravel bikes out there presently.

Combine it with a short chainstay (421 mm) and you get a seriously fast bike. There was about 5mm of visible sag in the front when sitting on the bike with my hands on the hoods. And now it’s here. © C. Lee / Cyclocross MagazineWhen Specialized first released the Diverge, it said it wanted to move away from cyclocross geometry toward what it calls Open Road Geometry.

With a 60.4cm front center and 42.1cm chainstays, the wheelbase is 101.1cm.It all sounds like a cyclocross bike until you notice the bottom bracket drop is an ultra-low 8.5cm. The Diverge Comp E5, Diverge Carbon, Diverge Sport Carbon, and both Diverge EVO models use the more straightforward Future Shock 1.5, which does not offer hydraulic damping or the dial adjustment. © C. Lee / Cyclocross MagazineThe Specialized Pathfinder Pro 700c x 38mm 2Bliss tires shipped with tubes installed, but the set also comes with tubeless valves. The control lines run internally entering the down tube, the derailleur lines with a cable stop so the cables are in the tubes without housing. Specialized modified the drivetrain with the addition of a Praxis Zyante Carbon 1x crankset with a 40-tooth Wave Tech chain ring. We immediately and easily set the wheels up tubeless.The cockpit has a Specialized Adventure Gear Hover aluminum bar that rises above the stem by a centimeter and flares 12 degrees toward the drops. Specialized claims clearance for tires up to 700c x 42mm and 650b x 47mm wide. Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. Just for comparison, an average cyclocross bike has around 65mm of trail and a standard road bike is around 55-59mm.Enough with calculations and suspected effects on handling. Twenty-four DT Swiss Competition (2.0/1.8/2.0) j-bend spokes lace the rims to the DT Swiss 350 disc hub. Carbon models get a slight chainstay-length increase to 425mm (from 421mm), while aluminum models have 432mm stays to improve tire clearance.The head tube angle is now about a degree slacker and is paired to a longer-offset fork, which keeps the trail numbers about the same as the previous generation (56cm size: old Diverge, 58mm trail; new Diverge, 57mm trail).Because of the longer reach, Specialized intends riders to use shorter stems. There is a clamp that tensions the headset on the very short steerer that just fits the frame (that clamp was the reason for a The whole package is painted a very attractive though understated metallic blue.Specialized spec’d the 1x drivetrain around the SRAM Force 1 groupset.

This can offset the way larger tires can slow handling and make steering more lively. The no-holds-barred Diverge S-Works is the only model that differs, offering the same frame with 11r carbon, the whole bike equipped with SRAM AXS for $10k.Adding suspension to the front end of bikes is nothing new, with the practice starting with the Softride stem and Girvin Flexstem, followed by suspension forks, led by Rock Shox.



The front has radial spokes on the non-rotor side, otherwise, the wheels are laced 2x.The Expert Diverge comes stock with Specialized Pathfinder Pro 38mm tires on Specialized Roval C38 carbon disc wheels.
The new Diverge gets a boost in tire clearance so all models can now, officially, run up to 47mm tires in 700c, and 53mm (2.1 inches) in 650b (previous clearance was 700x42mm or 650b x 47mm). The two least expensive Diverge models—the Diverge E5, and the Diverge E5 Elite, do not get Future Shock.
