A completely new driving experience on off-road slopes and cobblestones
With Future Shock dampers at the front and rear, which cushion the rider instead of the frame - and make the old dream of uncompromisingly competent handling come true in every situation. More distance. More speed. And that almost without getting tired, over hill and dale, small and large: The Diverge STR delivers all of this. Without the weight, the delayed pedal response and the loss of performance of conventional fullys.
The S-Works Diverge STR is built on our FACT 11r carbon frame with Future Shock front and rear. It features SRAM's Red eTap AXS Eagle for fast and efficient shifting. The 10-50 tooth cassette ensures you have the gears you need to tackle any ride. In addition, the Quarq power meter helps you to find the perfect dose of power. The bike rolls on our new and lighter Roval Terra CLX II wheels with 42mm Tracer Pro tires. Terra carbon handlebars, S-Works carbon seat post and S-Works Power saddle with mirror complete the package and make the Diverge STR the most powerful Diverge ever.
Dampen riders instead of frames
The new Future Shock technology follows a completely new mantra when it comes to suspension: Instead of dampening the entire bike, it mainly dampens the rider and despite the individually adjustable travel of 20mm at the front and 30mm at the rear, the Diverge STR is as agile, light and precise as one Rigid frame - only that your joints don't feel it with a meter, you are incredibly efficient on the road and have full control over your bike at all times.
The new Diverge has insanely elegant lines and great curves - and rides them exactly the same way. The hydraulic damper “tames” the 30mm of rear Future Shock travel, smoothing out bumps and bumpy roads. All without the bike swinging with you or catapulting you out of the saddle after big jumps. Efficiency par excellence.
Originally, the Future Shock was born to dominate cobblestone street racing. But the way it is: One wrong turn and suddenly you're riding gravel... and lo and behold, it's the most exciting stage of the day! It was the same with the Future Shock. Road is all well and good, but the adjustable front travel of 20 mm is just too much fun, especially off-road. Gentle on the back and joints, but without sacrificing speed, control and precision. True to our mantra: smoother is faster.
Ride what you want: The Diverge STR is Specialized 's perhaps most versatile gravel bike of all time. Starting with the tire clearance. Because with up to 47 mm at 700C or 53 mm at 650B, it makes many MTBs the coats in dispute. And thanks to the large contact points, almost every ride is possible.
Featuring the S-Works Diverge STR FACT 11r carbon frame, the Diverge STR is the most capable drop bar bike to ever leave their shop. Only 100 g heavier than the S-Works Diverge frame, but infinitely more robust, it does it all: Gravel, off-road, bikepacking - or all at the same time. The Diverge STR always remains smooth, agile and as light as possible.
