Specialized Diverge Expert Carbon Gravel 54cm - $3,050 (larkspur)
QR Code Link to This Post
Specialized lists the color as Gloss Teal/Limestone/Wild but it's basically a deep navy blue with some accents. Everything is carbon.
This bike has the SRAM GX electronic shifting. You can download the AXS app and fine tune anything drivetrain. I was a bit skeptical but ditching cables and adjustments is definitely the way to go.
Has a shock built into the headset. Riding on 42s is comfortable until you'd want to have a front fork shock. Very light - about 21 lbs.
Pedals not included but I can find a pair of platforms if you want to get you started.
Here's the Specialized blurb:
Specialized Diverge Expert Carbon Gravel Bike Description:
Explore miles of gravel roads, adventure to the backcountry, or compete against the clock during a favorite gravel race. The Specialized Diverge is an extremely capable and fun bike while remaining incredibly fast. Quick and lively when putting the hammer down but also confidence-inspiring when the terrain gets rough. Eating up the gravel chatter is the Future Shock 2.0 which suspends the rider to help reduce fatigue and add stability. Take advantage of the internal SWAT storage system on long adventures and load it up with extra layers, a repair kit, or even a burrito. Massive tire clearance and lightweight carbon wheels keep you rolling smoothly and elevate the overall riding experience. Dream up a ride you never thought possible and make it happen, the Diverge is up for the challenge.
Features:
FACT 9r Carbon frame is incredibly light and makes for a highly capable race or adventure bike
Future Shock 2.0 suspends the rider and offers 20mm of compliance with a hydraulic damper so it will be ready for the rough terrain
Progressive gravel geometry gives riders a capable and stable bike in the dirt but still feels responsive and nimble on the road
SRAM AXS wireless electronic shifting effortlessly glides across a wide range cassette with a simple push of a button
Plenty of rack, fork, and top tube mounts to ensure you can take what you need no matter how far you plan to go
Gobs of tire clearance, 47mm of tire clearance using a 700c wheel and 2.1" using a 650b
SWAT internal storage utilizes space in the down tube to store tools, a flat kit, nutrition, or even an extra layer
