We are Specialized dealers in Scotland <\/a> and the north of England so when Specialized alerted us that their whole Specialized Diverge <\/a> dirt road-capable Specialized road bicycle <\/a> range was being radically upgraded for 2018 we were amazed. After all, the Diverge was launched as recently as 2015 when it was pretty universally hailed as a superb example of the \u2018go anywhere bike\u2019. The Diverge Comp Carbon 2016 a healthy 4.5\/5 score.<\/p>\n

For something more off-road, check out Specialized full suspension bikes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When a bike\u2019s going this well, it\u2019s tempting for the manufacturer to play safe and only make cosmetic changes, such as a new paint job, when they \u2018refresh\u2019 their bikes for a new model year. Ever the innovators, that\u2019s not the Specialized way. The Diverge range is in the current sale, just check out Specialized bike for sale <\/a> for great prices.<\/p>\n

To give you an insider\u2019s insight into the latest example of Specialized\u2019s wizardry, we asked our bike buyer, Michael, to list the five most significant changes they have introduced to the Diverge range since it’s inception. Check out all our new bikes 2025 <\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Specialized Diverge E5 2019 Adventure Road Bike: \u00a3850 <\/span><\/h5>\n

\"shop-now-specialized.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tour de France-proven frame tubing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2018Even the entry level Diverge is now built with Specialized\u2019s elite Tour de France-proven E5 alloy tubing. Thanks to its lighter weight, it rides even more like a proper road bike.\u2019<\/p>\n

Through-axle wheels <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2018As I\u2019ve learned from mountain biking over the past 10 years, wheels built with wider through-axles offer a more secure, flex-resistant connection between frame\/fork and wheels \u2013 especially if your bike has disc brakes (as is the case with every Diverge). It might sound like a small detail but through-axles make a real contribution to that tight, flex-resistant feel you expect from a road bike, matched with the confidence inspiring security required when you take the bike off the beaten track.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"div-wmn-e5-bike.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Bigger volume tyres <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2018I\u2019m also sold on the notion that (within reason) a road bike can\u2019t have too-wide tyres \u2013 as long as they\u2019re lightweight and smooth rolling. That\u2019s why I\u2019m delighted to see every Diverge E5 model coming with 700×30 tyres, and the carbon models, such as the Diverge Comp, with even bigger volume 700×38 tyres.’<\/p>\n

Takes full-length mudguards <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2018Even with these wider tyres, every Diverge still has clearance for full SKS P-style mudguards. (If you\u2019re looking at a photo of a Diverge and wondering how the guards fit, the frame and fork have eyelets for securing the stays; the front guard is bolted into the bottom of the threaded fork crown, and the bike comes supplied with a spare seat tube clamp to support the rear mudguard. If this sounds complicated, remember that if you order accessories such as mudguards with any new bike, we\u2019ll waive our normal fitting charge <\/a> .)\u2019 If bigger volume tyres appeal to you more than fenders, it\u2019s worth pointing out that if you don\u2019t fit mudguards, the E5 Diverge has enough clearance to take tyres up to 38mm wide while a carbon Diverge takes up to 42mm.<\/p>\n

Future Shock <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2018Saving the best bit till last, I was amazed to discover that every Diverge, starting at \u00a31,500, now comes with Specialized Future Shock suspension <\/strong> . Enclosed inside the top of the frame head tube, this subtle 20mm-travel suspension cartridge effectively isolates you, the rider, from shock when you ride over rough roads, gravel and tracks. The great thing about this suspension system is that as well as being night-and-day lighter weight, unlike a conventional suspension fork with bobbing legs, Future Shock won\u2019t compromise the bike\u2019s handling. Future Shock only made its debut on the 2017 Specialized Roubaix range, yet it was the key factor that persuaded Cycling Plus to crown it their 2017 Bike of the Year <\/a> .<\/p>\n

\"shop-now-specialized.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s to Specialized\u2019s credit that such proven innovation is already available on more modestly priced bikes such as the Diverge E5 Comp.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"div-e5-elite-oakgrn-black.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Specialized Diverge E5 Elite 2019 Adventure Road Bike: \u00a31,050 <\/span><\/h5>\n

Specialized Diverge: Conclusion <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2018Thanks to its inspired spec and its \u2018Open Road\u2019 geometry, this bike offers the agility and acceleration of any similarly priced road bike, while its fatter tyres and Future Shock gives you the confidence to diverge off the beaten track to explore dirt roads and cobbles. If you\u2019ve been looking for The One <\/em> \u2013 that is, the ultimate gravel \/ road bike that does it all this side of full-on MTB trail riding or road racing \u2013 I would recommend you give the Diverge serious consideration.<\/p>\n

Better still, why not try one out? As with any bike on display in our shops <\/a> , you can ask for a quick test ride on a Diverge and decide for yourself if it\u2019s the bike for you. Just pop in and request a quick spin. I\u2019m confident you\u2019ll be impressed.\u2019 You can also view all Specialized bikes Roubaix <\/a> and other road bikes.<\/p>\n
