Sumarize
The Diverge Sport Carbon from Specialized is a versatile gravel bike designed for off-road adventures. The FACT 8r carbon frame with internal cable routing offers a stiff yet comfortable ride. The Future Shock suspension with 20 mm travel on the fork provides more control on rough terrain. The hydraulic Shimano GRX RX400 disc brakes ensure reliable deceleration. The 12-speed Shimano GRX RX820 rear derailleur drive enables precise shifting and a wide range of gear ratios. Thanks to the 12x142 mm rear thru-axle system and the flat brake calliper mounts, the bike is equipped for the rigors of unpaved trails. The overall package makes the Diverge Sport Carbon a powerful and robust companion for all gravel adventures.
Highlights
- Top Carbon Frame
- Good Weight in this Class
- Good Groupset components

The 2023 Specialized Diverge STR gravel bike adds a unique rear Future Shock seat tube with a hydraulic top tube motion damper to control the flex. Combined with their steer tube Future Shock up front, the bike keeps the rider floating over chatter for a...
Peter Stuart
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
- +Better ride quality
- +More ride versatility
- +Better all-around performance
- +Impressive comfort across all terrain
- -Added complexity
- -Increased price

VERDICT: Specialized’s radical new butt suspension shows great promise but is this the future of gravel?
For the 2021 model year, Specialized redesigned their popular Diverge gravel bikes. It feels more confident and stable on descents and at speed thanks to an updated geometry that includes a more extended reach and wheelbase, a slight slacker head tube angle,...
- Modern gravel geometry
- 20mm of Future Shock Suspension
- SWAT storage
- Offered in multiple builds
- Not the lightest weight
- More expensive

Proper gravel racer that belies its weight, and a blast to ride – plus the SWAT storage is a touch of class

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
- modern geometry contributes to super-stable ride quality
- every bike should have a SWAT box
- oodles of mounts boost versatility
- lots of tyre clearance
- Uncompetitive build for the price
- tyres suffer in all but the driest conditions
- handlebar design may limit accessory mounting options
