Specialized Diverge Str Expert Carbon Gravel Bike 2024 49cm

With Future Shock suspension front and rear the new Diverge STR delivers compliance without compromise. By suspending the rider—instead of the bike—Future Shock technology increases control and efficiency while decreasing fatigue so you’ll be riding farther and faster over chunkier terrain than you believed possible. And the Diverge STR does this without the weight sluggish pedal response and inefficiency of other suspension systems.   The Diverge STR Expert starts with our FACT 11r carbon frameset with front and rear Future Shock suspension. It’s built with a mix of SRAM’s Rival and GX AXS components for fast efficient shifting with a 10-50 cassette to ensure you have the gearing to tackle any ride. The bike rolls on the Roval Terra C wheels with 42mm Tracer Pro tires. Adventure Gear alloy handlebars an S-Works carbon seatpost and Power Expert saddle complete the package making the Diverge STR the most capable Diverge ever. The new Diverge doesn’t just have gorgeous lines it has perfect curves too. Future Shock Rear puts 30mm of rear travel in the ideal path to smooth out rough road. Its hydraulic damping controls travel to eliminate “bobbing” under power and ensure big hits never catapult you from the saddle all without compromising fit or pedaling efficiency. By suspending the rider with damped tunable travel—20mm front/30mm rear—Future Shock Technology absorbs bump forces to boost your control and capability while retaining the efficiency and responsiveness of a rigid frame. Because as far as power transfer goes it is a rigid frame. Power to the pedals makes the bike jump like a scared cat. You’re efficient you’re comfortable you’re in control. Your bike is light nimble and responsive. Born from decades of innovation and our Smoother is Faster philosophy Future Shock was created to develop bikes that win on cobblestones but it’s found its purest expression on gravel. It’s 20mm of adjustable damped front travel that keeps you in control and on target all while protecting your hands arms and shoulders from the battering. More capability means more confidence more confidence means more rides more rides mean more fun and it all starts at the contact patch. Nothing unlocks capability like tire clearance and we’re feeling generous. 47mm on a 700c wheel and 2.1” on 650B. Diverge STR is the most capable gravel bike we’ve ever made so it’s the most fun. We did the math.
