Specialized Diverge STR Expert 2023 - Gravel Bike
The Specialized Diverge STR Expert delivers compliance without compromise. By suspending the rider instead of the bike, innovative Future Shock technology increases control and efficiency while decreasing fatigue, so you’ll be able to ride further and faster over rougher terrain. And the Diverge STR does this without the weight, sluggish pedal response, and inefficiency of other suspension systems.
By suspending the rider with damped, tunable travel (20mm front/30mm rear), the Future Shock Technology absorbs bump forces to boost your control and capability while retaining the efficiency and responsiveness of a rigid frame. Because as far as power transfer goes, it is a rigid frame. Power to the pedals and instant acceleration are maintained just like a rigid frame.
Key Features:
- Diverge FACT 11r carbon frame with front and rear Future Shock suspension delivers a compliant ride
- Diverge FACT carbon fork with Future Shock 2.0 Damper ensures precise control
- SRAM Rival eTap AXS hydraulic disc brakes ensure powerful braking
- SRAM Rival eTap AXS Wireless 12 Speed Groupset for accurate shifting
- Colour: Satin Black/Diamond Dust, Satin Harvest Gold/Gold Ghost
- Sizes: 49cm (XS), 52cm (Small), 54cm (Medium), 56cm (Large), 58cm (X Large)
- The Specialized Diverge STR Expert is available with 0% APR finance
Future Shock Rear puts 30mm of rear travel in the ideal path to smooth out rough road. Its hydraulic damping controls travel to eliminate “bobbing” under power and ensure big hits never catapult you from the saddle, all without compromising fit or pedaling efficiency.
Born from decades of innovation Future Shock was created to develop bikes that win on cobblestones, but it’s found its purest expression on gravel. It’s 20mm of adjustable, damped front travel that keeps you in control and on target, all while protecting your hands, arms, and shoulders from the battering.
More capability means more confidence, more confidence means more rides, more rides mean more fun, and it all starts at the contact patch. Nothing unlocks capability like tire clearance. 47mm on a 700c wheel and 2.1” on 650B. Diverge STR is the most capable gravel bike from Specialized.
The internal SWAT™ compartment puts everythingyou need, right where you need it, not in your pockets weighing you down.
The Diverge STR FACT 11r carbon frame is more compliant than any drop bar bike from Specialized, yet adds just 100 grams compared to the S-Works Diverge frame. Never have so few grams added so much capability. Climb it, race it, or load it down with bags and gear for the long haul—Diverge STR does it all faster and smoother without any excess baggage.
