Specialized Diverge E5 Comp: Your Ultimate Gravel Companion
The Specialized Diverge E5 Comp is built for riders who crave adventure on both smooth roads and rugged gravel paths. With a premium aluminum frame and high-performance components, this bike delivers a comfortable, stable, and responsive ride, whether you're heading out for a long-distance gravel race or simply exploring new terrain. Equipped with cutting-edge technology like the Future Shock 1.5 suspension, it keeps you in control on rough surfaces while ensuring you stay comfortable mile after mile.
Key Benefits for Riders
Unmatched Tire Clearance for Ultimate Versatility
Nothing unlocks a bike's potential like ample tire clearance, and the Diverge E5 Comp offers up to 47mm clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1” with a 650b wheel. This generous clearance allows you to tackle a wide variety of surfaces, from smooth tarmac to loose gravel, without compromising performance. The innovative machined alloy beam behind the chainrings ensures this clearance without the fragility of a dropped chainstay design, giving you both strength and stability in your ride.
Comfort and Control with Future Shock 1.5
The Diverge E5 Comp features Future Shock 1.5, a game-changing technology that offers 20mm of axial compliance, perfect for gravel riding. This progressive shock ensures a smoother ride over rough roads and loose gravel, keeping your hands, arms, and neck fresh. By absorbing shocks and vibrations, Future Shock helps you stay confident, maintain control, and keep the power down without constantly reaching for the brakes.
Progressive Gravel Geometry for Confidence and Responsiveness
Breaking the mold of traditional gravel geometry, the Diverge E5 Comp offers the most progressive geometry Specialized has ever created for a drop bar bike. With a slacker head tube, longer fork offset, and increased frame reach, this bike provides stability and control on gravel, while still offering nimble handling on the road. The low bottom bracket ensures stability, while also allowing for versatility with 650b wheels for those who prefer more traction and a smoother ride.
Lightweight and Durable Construction
Built with Specialized’s Premium E5 Aluminum frame, the Diverge E5 Comp is both lightweight and durable, offering an excellent platform for all your gravel adventures. Paired with a full carbon FACT fork, this bike delivers exceptional performance, whether you're climbing hills or cruising on flat roads. The bike is also equipped with plenty of rack mounts for easy gear storage on long-distance rides, making it the perfect choice for any gravel adventure.
Reliable Drivetrain and Stopping Power
With a SRAM Apex 1 hydraulic disc brake system, you’ll have confident stopping power in all conditions. The 160mm G2 CenterLine rotors provide smooth and consistent braking, while the SRAM Apex 1, 11-speed drivetrain offers precise and efficient shifting, ensuring you have the right gear for any terrain.
Why Choose the Specialized Diverge E5 Comp?
For gravel riders who want a bike that’s both versatile and durable, the Diverge E5 Comp is an excellent choice. Its lightweight frame, progressive geometry, and shock-absorbing technology ensure a comfortable, stable ride no matter where the adventure takes you. With its high-performance features and easy adaptability for long rides, this bike is designed to handle whatever you throw at it.
