The Specialized FACT 9r carbon frame is lightweight and stiff, allowing fantastic power transfer while being compliant and softening bumps along the way. With help from the Roubaix, the new Diverge frame is lighter, stiffer and more durable. The Open Road Geometry takes cues from Specialized’s trail mountain bikes, with slacker a head angle which relaxes and stabilises the steering, for greater predictability. A lower bottom bracket than the previous Diverge as well as short chainstays make it a playful handling bike, one that’s as at home on fire roads as it is on city streets.
The frame comes equipped for adventure, with Plug and Play rack mounts, fender mounts, three bottle cages mounts and massive tyre clearance, large enough for 38c tyres and a load of mud. An easy threaded bottom bracket, flat mount disc mounts, and a 12x142mm thru axle and rear spacing makes the Diverge up to date. The S-Works FACT Carbon fork does a wonderful job of minimising vibrations coming from the wheels. It has 12x100 spacing with a thru-axle that helps give the Diverge predictable handling.
Unique to the suspension world, Specialized Future Shock is a shock that has a cartridge sitting within the headtube, with 20mm travel on offer between the stem and frame. In this setup, the geometry of the bike stays the same when going through bumps and rough terrain, giving the same predictable handling throughout. The Future Shock not only smooths bumps and vibrations, it also helps reduce fatigue during long rides. It’s different from the Roubaix Future Shock is the progressive nature of the Diverge shock, which helps to maintain traction on off-road trails and doesn’t use all the travel so easily.
Getting you moving is Shimano’s 105 2x11 speed drivetrain. Pairing the Praxis Alba 2D 48/32t chainset to the 11-32t cassette means that steep and long climbs are much easier with a wide and accessible gear range. The RS505 hydraulic disc brakes are powerful and feature high modulation, giving you the ability to better control your speed, be it in the dry or wet weather.
The Axis Elite wheels are robust and wrapped in Specialized Trigger Pro tyres in 38c size. The tyres are tubeless ready, allowing the upgrade to be made to a puncture resistant setup. In the rear, to complement the Future Shock is a Specialized CG-R carbon seatpost. It features a Zertz vibration damping elastomer which helps absorb bumps in the road, and makes for a much more comfortable ride.
