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 Diverge Sport Carbon. It's quite simply the fastest, most capable - and just maybe the most fun - bike Specialized has ever made, delivering a ride that's quick and lively under power, but stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough. From Future Shock 1.5 and all-new gravel geometry, to category leading tire clearance, the new Diverge represents everything Specialized learned over more than 40 years of riding road, gravel and dirt. The Diverge writes an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category, so you can dream up entirely new rides. It's the ultimate getaway vehicle.

The new Diverge has the most progressive geometry Specialized ever created for a drop bar bike, giving riders a capable and stable bike in the dirt, that still feels responsive and nimble on the road. With increased frame’s reach,  Spec introduced a slacker head tube and a longer offset fork. All this creates incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt, while spec’ing shorter stems keeps the overall cockpit length the same and the steering lively. The bike’s BB was kept low to increase stability, but high enough to utilize with 650b wheels if that’s your jam.

Gravel riding may be a ‘new’ sport, but Diverge Sport Carbon has been developed thanks to over four decades of experience. It’s got Future Shock 1.5 and a FACT 8r carbon frame for a fast, confident and comfortable ride on road, in the dirt, and over thick gravel. With gravel-specific Shimano GRX RX820 2x12 shifting and DT Swiss G540 wheels the Diverge Sport’s as capable as it is versatile. With the Pathfinder Pro 42mm tires, the same rubber as speced on the S-Works Diverge, you’re ready to ride as fast and as far as you want.

In addition to all, the Diverge has plenty of rack mounts, including fork and top tube mounts, to ensure you can take what you need, no matter how far you plan to go, or how long you plan to stay out.
