Specialized Diverge Expert Carbon 2025 - Gravel Bike
The Diverge Expert Carbon is built to go beyond what traditional gravel bikes can do. At its core is a lightweight and responsive FACT 9r carbon frame with progressive geometry, longer reach, slacker head angle and a longer offset fork making it super stable on rough terrain while still lively and fast on tarmac. Specialized’s Future Shock 2.0 offers 20mm of front suspension with a hydraulic damper that suspends the rider, not the bike. The result? Greater comfort and control over washboard tracks, loose gravel, and rough country roads, without compromising speed.
Key Features:
- FACT 9r carbon frame, progressive gravel geometry and SWAT internal down tube storage
- Future Shock 2.0 with 20mm travel and adjustable hydraulic damping
- SRAM Rival/GX/NX 1x drivetrain with wide-range 11-50T cassette
- SRAM hydraulic disc brakes for consistent stopping on any terrain
- Roval Terra C carbon wheels wrapped in 700x42c Pathfinder Pro tyres
- Clearance for up to 47mm tyres (700c) or 2.1” (650b) for maximum capability
- Fork and top tube mounts for packing extra gear on long rides
- Available with 0% APR finance
SWAT internal storage in the down tube gives you space to stash spares, snacks or a jacket without needing a bulky saddlebag or overstuffed jersey pockets. It’s a smart way to lower your centre of gravity and keep essentials at hand. There’s generous tyre clearance too (up to 47mm with 700c wheels or 2.1” with 650b) so you can dial in your ride for grip, float or speed depending on your route.
The drivetrain blends SRAM Rival, GX and NX components, delivering smooth and reliable 1x shifting with an 11-50 cassette for tackling steep climbs and long-haul adventures. Braking duties are handled by SRAM’s dependable hydraulic discs, while the carbon Roval Terra C wheels and 42mm Pathfinder Pro tyres offer a balance of speed and traction on mixed terrain.
The Specialized Diverge Expert Carbon is for gravel riders who crave speed, control and versatility. Whether you’re chasing fast bikepacking weekends, racing through remote trails, or just pushing deeper into the unknown, the Diverge is your getaway vehicle, ready to write a new chapter in every ride.
