Specialized S-Works Diverge review

May 2020 · Aaron Borrill

Sporting slacker and longer geometry numbers the all-new Specialized Diverge takes drop-bar, gravel-bike aggressiveness to a whole new level

Highs
  • Stealthy, refined aesthetics

  • Compliant ride quality

  • Flattering geometry

  • Reactive steering

  • Comprehensive range covering all price points

Lows
  • Dropper post is overkill and adds unnecessary weight

Specialized Women’s Diverge E5 Comp review

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

Highs
  • Versatile

  • Well engineered and very tough all-weather and all-road bike

Lows
  • Heavy

  • Slightly thin tyres for off-road use

  • The Future Shock adds a lot to the price

Specialized Women's Diverge E5 Comp review

Oct 2018

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.

Apr 2018 · Robin Wilmott

An accomplished gravel bike that benefits from road and mountain bike DNA. Buy if you want a surprisingly comfortable bike that’s capable everywhere

Highs
  • Ride quality, improved Future Shock, all-surface ability

Lows
  • That carbon frameset sucks up much of the cost
