Specialized S-Works Diverge 2018 - Road Bike
The ultimate adventurer. The Specialized S-Works Diverge is a gravel road bikes that takes you wherever you want to go. Stack it full of bags and lights and see if you can go the distance, or show your friends that speed and comfort can go hand in hand.
The Specialized FACT 11r carbon frame is super 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 weighing in at a featherlight 880g. 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 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, the 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.
This Diverge gets the full S-Works treatment with a Carbon Hover Drop handlebar, alloy stem with titanium bolts, and Body Geometry S-Works Phenom saddle with carbon rails. The Roval CLX 32 Disc carbon wheelset is super lightweight and strong, being able to take on a wide variety of scenarios. Ceramic bearings reduce wear and maintenance, while rolling quickly. The wide internal diameter of the Roval rims means that the 38c Trigger Pro 2Bliss tyres have plenty of support in the corners.
The unusual drivetrain setup takes the best of both the mountain bike and road worlds, combining XTR and RS785 Di2. The XTR rear derailleur shifts the 11-40T cassette and is paired with an RS785 shifter, which also controls the powerful RS805 disc brakes. The 1x11 setup simplifies the drivetrain, yet gives a wide gear range. The cheery on top of this flagship adventure bike is the Specialized Command Post XCP dropper post, giving 35mm travel to get the saddle out the way when you need to.
For the very best, you can’t beat the Specialized S-Works Diverge for adventuring duties.
