Specialized Diverge Str Expert green | Gravel bike

With Future Shock suspension front and rear, the new Diverge STR offers compliance without compromise. By suspending the rider - not the bike - Future Shock technology increases control and efficiency while reducing fatigue, so you can go further and faster over rougher terrain than you thought possible. And the Diverge STR achieves 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 Future Shock suspension front and rear. It's equipped with a mix of SRAM Rival and GX AXS components for quick, efficient shifting and a 10-50 cassette to ensure you have the right gearing for every ride. The bike rolls on Roval Terra C wheels wrapped in 42mm Tracer Pro tires. The Adventure Gear aluminum handlebar, S-Works carbon seatpost and Power Expert saddle complete the package and make the Diverge STR the most capable Diverge ever.

The new Diverge not only has beautiful lines, but also perfect curves.

The Future Shock Rear offers 30mm of rear wheel travel to smooth out road imperfections. Hydraulic damping controls travel to prevent "bobbing" under load and ensure big hits don't catapult you out of the saddle, without compromising fit or pedal efficiency.

By suspending the rider with dampened, tunable travel - 20mm front/30mm rear - Future Shock Technology absorbs impact forces to improve your control and performance without sacrificing the efficiency and responsiveness of a rigid frame. Because when it comes to power transfer, it's a rigid frame. The power transfer to the pedals makes the bike jump like a frightened cat. You're efficient, you're comfortable, you're in control. Your bike is light, agile and responsive.

The result of decades of innovation and our "Smoother is Faster" philosophy, the Future Shock was designed to create bikes that win on cobbles, but it found its purest form on gravel. 20mm of adjustable, dampened travel at the front ensures you stay in control and on target, while protecting your hands, arms and shoulders from the strain.

More power means more confidence, more confidence means more rides, more rides means more fun, and it all starts with the contact patch. Nothing drives performance like tire clearance, and we're generous. 47mm on a 700c wheel and 2.1" on 650B. The Diverge STR is the most capable gravel bike we've ever built, and it's also the most fun. We've done the math.
