2021 Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon review

Nov 2020 · Jack Luke

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
