Summary
The Specialized Diverge is a versatile gravel bike praised for its smooth ride quality and all-surface capability, blending road and mountain bike DNA. Its FutureShock suspension system enhances comfort by damping vibrations and bumps, while the geometry offers stable handling and confidence on varied terrain. However, some reviews note that it can feel less nimble in technical sections and may lack traction with stock tires.

The Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon could be the perfect do-it-all bike for those seeking on road fun and off road thrills
Good carbon frame
Great handling
Perfect blend of on road performance and off road capability
Tyres comprise its off-road competency

Bike giant Specialized sent us the Diverge Expert for our bikepacking group test. Designed as a gravel bike, it's been a talking point among bikepacking greats like Lael Wilcox since its introduction. Does it have what it takes to win our group test?
High level of comfort
Very composed
Maximum efficiency at cruising speed
SWAT box in the down tube
Frameset not stiff enough for heavy luggage
Lack of precision in off-road corners on loose surfaces

For the 2021 model year, Specialized redesigned their popular Diverge gravel bikes. It feels more confident and stable on descents and at speed thanks to...
Modern gravel geometry
20mm of Future Shock Suspension
SWAT storage
Offered in multiple builds
Not the lightest weight
More expensive

Sporting slacker and longer geometry numbers the all-new Specialized Diverge takes drop-bar, gravel-bike aggressiveness to a whole new level
Stealthy, refined aesthetics
Compliant ride quality
Flattering geometry
Reactive steering
Comprehensive range covering all price points
Dropper post is overkill and adds unnecessary weight

The 2020 Specialized Diverge Expert gravel bike features the Future Shock front suspension system and Open Road Geometry. We put it to the long-term gravel grind.
May 2019 · Stu Kerton
Clever shock system and an excellent ride but expensive for what you are getting
Mar 2019 · Thérèse Coen
A very accessible all-road all-rounder, but can prove sluggish for pure road riding, and needs some wider tyres for true off-road riding
Versatile
Well engineered and very tough all-weather and all-road bike
Heavy
Slightly thin tyres for off-road use
The Future Shock adds a lot to the price

The Specialized Women’s Diverge E5 Comp is a bike that will turn its hand to most types of riding and one that genuinely hits the do-it-all landmark - it's pretty much identical to the men’s bike too. As a jack of all trades, we liked this versatile gravel and adventure bike but it needs tougher tyres before you take it too far off the beaten track.
