Specialized Diverge Sport Carbon: The Ultimate Gravel Getaway Vehicle
Whether your goal is to escape on gravel back roads, far from cars and crowds, or drop the hammer at the front of your favorite gravel race, no bike does it better than the new SPECIALIZED DIVERGE SPORT CARBON. It’s quite simply the fastest, most capable—and just maybe the most fun—Gravel Bike we’ve ever made. Specifically, it delivers a ride that’s quick and lively under power, but stable and confidence-inspiring when the terrain gets rough, making it perfect for varied terrain and Cycling in Dubai.
Performance and Capability: Engineered for Gravel
Gravel riding may be a “new” sport, but our Diverge Sport Carbon has been developed thanks to over four decades of experience. This model is built with a FACT 8r carbon frame and features our innovative Future Shock 1.5 suspension for a fast, confident, and comfortable ride on road, in the dirt, and over thick gravel.
The new Diverge represents everything we’ve learned over the years, including:
- Future Shock 1.5: Provides 20mm of compliant travel for taming rough roads, reducing fatigue and increasing speed.
- All-New Gravel Geometry: Optimized to be quick and lively yet stable when descending or hitting technical sections.
- Category-Leading Tire Clearance: Ensures versatility for various terrains and conditions.
The Diverge Sport Carbon Winning Build
The SPECIALIZED DIVERGE SPORT CARBON comes fully equipped to handle any adventure.
- Drivetrain & Brakes: A gravel-inspired SRAM Apex 1 1×11 group handles shifting and braking duties reliably. The 1× setup provides simple, reliable gearing with an 11-42t Sunrace cassette.
- Wheels & Tires: DT Swiss G540 wheels provide a bombproof foundation. Importantly, they are wrapped in Kanza-winning Pathfinder Pro 700×42mm tires—the same rubber we spec on the S-Works Diverge—ensuring you’re ready to ride as fast and as far as you want.
