The Diverge STR Comp from Specialized is a high-performance gravel bike that can handle even the roughest terrain thanks to its innovative technologies. The FACT 11r carbon frame with integrated Future Shock suspension at the front and rear ensures a comfortable and controlled ride. The Shimano GRX RX820 disc brakes ensure reliable deceleration. The 1x12 Shimano GRX RX820 drivetrain offers a wide range of gears for a wide variety of trail conditions.

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

I’ve had some time to think about the new Diverge STR. I’ve ridden a lot of gravel bikes since I returned it, and none do what the STR can do. But let’s just go ahead and say what you’re likely thinking: Yeah, but look at it.

  2. Well balanced handling ofr riding fast, but in control
  3. SWAT design gives plenty of storage
Cons
  1. Future Shock adds extra weight
