Specialized Diverge Sport A1 2015 - Road Bike

Want a road bike that can take on more than just the tarmac? Then the Specialized Diverge Sport A1 is the bike for you.  With disc brakes, an endurance geometry and solid frame this endurance bike is ready to take on tarmac, gravel paths and dirt tracks in equal measure.

You can buy the Diverge Sport A1 through a Cycle to Work scheme and it would make an excellent commuter vehicle (it is rack and mudguard compatible).

Frame & Fork

The frame is made from aluminium (A1 Premium Aluminium to be precise), which is an ideal bike building material - It’s light, strong and stiff. It allows you to accelerate quickly out of corners and fly up climbs with superb handling on the descents.

Matched well to the aluminium frame is a FACT carbon fork for added front end stiffness and precise steering - definitely useful in a sportive race. This fork also comes with Zertz inserts which help to soak up road vibrations from travelling up the fork and into your hands.

Endurance geometry makes for easy climbing and descents at speed whilst putting you into a comfortable position for long-distance riding. The A1 is also mudguard and rack compatible making it an excellent commuter machine, as well as a Winter rider.

Components

A Shimano Sora drivetrain provides reliable and durable gearing and shifting through the 18 speeds.  Tektro Spyre mechanical disc brakes offer greater stopping power than traditional v-brakes and consistent performance no matter the ground or weather conditions, making the A1 Sport a Winter ready road bike.

AXIS Classic Disc rims are durable and will stay true for years to come.  The frame is built allowing for a tyre clearance up to 35c (32c with mudguards).  Equipping the Diverge Sport A1 with wider tyres would increase traction for more rugged conditions.
