specialized diverge 4
Think of every way Diverge has set the standard for gravel bikes, now turn that up to 11
In 1974, Mike Sinyard sold his VW van for “adventure capital” to fund an extended bike tour through Europe. That spirit, the desire to get away and discover something real, has driven Specialized ever since. The Diverge has written its own chapters in that story for over a decade, thanks to an unmatched combination of speed, capability, and confidence.
Smoother is Faster
Future Shock 3.0 plus the most responsive Diverge ever makes Diverge 4 the cheat code for gravel. Positioned between the stem and headtube, Future Shock 3.0 delivers 20mm of hydraulically damped travel, absorbing impacts without compromising weight, handling, or responsiveness. It’s
more tunable, more adjustable, and delivers all its travel to more riders, regardless of fit. Pairing a smooth front end with a harsh rear doesn’t deliver speed or comfort, so we matched Future Shock 3.0 with the Roval Terra seatpost. When your rear wheel impacts a bump, it deflects–up to 18mm–in the opposite direction of upward wheel travel. It keeps your mass stable and rear wheel planted to harness every watt. We call this ‘vector compliance’ and it weighs less than 200 grams.
Absurdly Capable
Be prepared. If doomsday preppers ride
gravel, they ride Diverge 4. There is simply no gravel bike with a greater combination of storage capacity and tire clearance. SWAT 4.0 is the most advanced internal storage system ever fitted to a gravel bike.
With a flush-mount, lever-operated door and the largest opening on gravel, it makes room for everything from tubes and CO2s to jackets, tools, and nutrition. Even the Diverge E5 Alloy features SWAT 3.0, making it the first alloy gravel bike ever with internal frame storage. Diverge 4 supports up to 50mm tyres (700c), offering massive grip, fewer
flats, and supreme comfort. Developed with input from our Factory Off-Road Team, the new clearance standard is optimized for high-speed racing and rough exploration.
Confidence for Any Challenge
Our engineers interrogated our gravel Factory Team, spoke to hundreds of riders, logged countless miles across all kinds of terrain, and entered events in every corner of the globe. They then got busy translating those hopes and dreams into angles and millimeters and made the most progressive Diverge ever. Across the lineup, they gave Diverge 4 a slacker headtube while extending reach progressively across the entire line - 8mm on the 56cm, for example, but just 4mm on the 54cm. By reducing the bottom bracket height of Diverge 4 by 5mm, we’ve retained the same ride height riders love, even when running 50mm tires. It all adds up to the feeling of sitting IN the bike, not ON the bike, for ultimate confidence.
Diverge E5 Alloy
High performance shouldn’t be limited by budget. That’s why Diverge 4 E5 Alloy brings the best of its carbon sibling into a lightweight, durable E5 alloy frame. Not to mention being the only alloy gravel bike in the world with internal storage. From the drop-bar Stumpjumper to the Crux and RockCombo, from Unbound breakaways to remote gravel epics, Specialized has been enabling gravel freedom on two wheels. Diverge 4 is the culmination of 50 years of engineering machines for the getaway. It is the Ultimate Getaway Vehicle.
