Why stick to one discipline when you can master each and every one with the same bike? Road, gravel, trail, mountain - take to them all and pursue greatness with the Specialized Diverge Comp Road Bike 2018. Designed with versatility in mind, the frame is constructed from an impressively low weight FACT 9r carbon that bridges the gap between performance and durability, all whilst its Open Road Geometry offers stability, responsive handling and comfort for all-day, all-terrain riding.
Originally seen on the Roubaix and used for its impressive comfort and vibration absorption, Future Shock technology has been integrated into the front end. Its 20mm of plush suspension ensures off road adventures don’t take their toll and you’re kept fresher for true, all-day comfort. Working alongside this technology, Specialized’s Comp Hover bar slightly heightens your centralised hand position, so when you’re slogging along gravel roads, your wrists don’t take a battering.
Shimano’s RS505 hydraulic disc brakes are a perfect choice for a bike of this nature, giving impressive reliability and predictability in a wide range of situations. They modulate heat efficiently so you can reward yourself after harsh, steep gradients with long, fast descents that’ll see you hollering all the way to the base.
Shimano’s 105, 5800 gearing gives enough spin to get you up those gradients, and an 11-32t cassette ensures you can sit back and climb, taking in the surroundings or attack out the saddle and pip your friends to the peak. The RS505 disc shift levers are ergonomically shaped to stop you stretching out too much to reach the brakes and are fully personalisable to hone your riding style.
Whether you’re spending most of your time off-road, on-road or simply fancy a mixture, the Specialized Axis Elite Disc wheelset offers supreme strength, durability and when equipped with the Specialized Trigger Pro 38mm tyres, mean you can stop worry about punctures and more about shredding the trail.
