Riding ‘off road’ on a road bike is nothing new. I have seen lots of days-gone-by pics of Tour de France riders with a tubular slung around their shoulders riding dirt roads.

2021 Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon review

The Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon is a hugely versatile carbon gravel bike that could be turned to almost any task

Highs
  • The Future Shock 2.0 is super-effective at smoothing big hits and rough roads

  • Modern geometry contributes to super-stable ride quality

  • Every bike should have a SWAT box

  • Oodles of mounts boost versatility

  • Lots of tyre clearance

Lows
  • Uncompetitive build for the price

  • Tyres suffer in all but the driest conditions

  • Handlebar design may limit accessory mounting options

Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon in bikepacking review

Oct 2020 · Benjamin Topf

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?

Highs
  • High level of comfort

  • Very composed

  • Maximum efficiency at cruising speed

  • SWAT box in the down tube

Lows
  • Frameset not stiff enough for heavy luggage

  • Lack of precision in off-road corners on loose surfaces

  • Compliant ride quality

  • Flattering geometry

  • Reactive steering

  • Comprehensive range covering all price points

Lows
  • Dropper post is overkill and adds unnecessary weight
