The flat bars are polarizing, but the dedicated geometry makes the most of it.
Incredibly fun, confidence-inspiring handling on a versatile flame platform.
Slower than most gravel bikes.

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.

The fit offered by the Diverge really was a highlight and I enjoyed every moment I spent riding it
Comfortable fit
Confident handling
Fun ride
Favourite saddle comes fitted
Shifting engagement not always precise
Stock tyres not suitable for muddy conditions

The 2021 Specialized Diverge has a full menu of modern gravel attributes that makes it a bike that can easily last the test of time.

Fast and responsive over varying terrain, however Future Shock suspension makes a questionable contribution in the face of high-volume tyres
Versatility
Speed
Handling
Tyre clearance
Suspension and toolbox unnecessary for some

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

Modern gravel geometry
20mm of Future Shock Suspension
SWAT storage
Offered in multiple builds
Not the lightest weight
More expensive
