Specialized Diverge STR Comp

The new Diverge STR with Future Shock front and rear suspension is comfortable without compromising performance. By absorbing small shocks, control and efficiency are improved and, at the same time, fatigue is reduced, so you can pedal longer and faster. The Diverge STR Comp has a FACT 11r carbon-fibre frame and is fitted with the new Shimano GRX 820 groupset with 10-51 sprocket set, DT G540 wheels with Specialized Tracer Pro 42mm tyres, S-Works Carbon seatpost, alloy Adventure Gear handlebar, and Power Sport saddle.

The 20mm travel on the front wheel and 30mm on the rear wheel absorbs shocks and improves control, efficiency and responsiveness. In terms of power transfer, however, it is entirely similar to a rigid bike. The hydraulic damping of the new Diverge STR prevents 'bobbing' under stress. You won't catapult out of the saddle when you hit an obstacle on the trail, and pedalling efficiency remains intact.

Future Shock is the latest development in the 'Smoother is Faster' philosophy of Comfort and Performance. It was created to cope with cobblestones and is perfectly suited for gravel. The 20mm of front travel spares your hands, arms and shoulders, and allows you to pedal with greater comfort. More capacity means pedalling with more confidence and security. With the large contact area of the 47c tyres on the 700 wheel or 2.1" on the 27.5 wheel, the Diverge STR is the most capable gravel bike we have ever made.
