Jack Luke
The Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon is a hugely versatile carbon gravel bike that could be turned to almost any task
- The Future Shock 2.0 is super-effective at smoothing big hits and rough roads

- lots of tyre clearance

- tyres suffer in all but the driest conditions
- handlebar design may limit accessory mounting options

- Great handling
- Good carbon frame
- Perfect blend of on road performance and off road capability

- SWAT box in the downtube
- High level of comfort
- Smooth rolling
- Maximum efficiency at cruising speed
- Frame set too soft for heavy luggage
- Lack of precision in off-road turns on loose surfaces
