The Diverge Comp Carbon from Specialized is a versatile gravel bike designed for adventurous tours on gravel tracks as well as for demanding gravel sports races. The frame made of high-quality FACT 9r carbon offers stiff yet comfortable riding characteristics. The integrated SWAT door in the down tube makes it possible to take important utensils with you. The Future Shock 2.0 suspension fork with damping and a smooth dust boot provides more comfort and control on uneven terrain. The Shimano GRX shifting group with 2x11 gears and hydraulic disc brakes ensures precise shifting performance and reliable deceleration. The flat steering angle and thru-axle thru-axles on the fork and rear triangle give the bike safe and stable handling characteristics even when riding fast on rough surfaces.

The STR’s rear suspension comes at a cost on price, a small weight penalty and perhaps aesthetic appeals, I’d consider those trade-offs to be a reasonable exchange for the broad performance gains on offer

Pros
  1. +Better ride quality
  2. +More ride versatility
  3. +Better all-around performance
  4. +Impressive comfort across all terrain
Cons
  1. -Added complexity
  2. -Increased price
