This thing called gravel riding is still evolving, still being defined. Whats next? Hop on the 2023 Specialized Diverge Expert EVO Flat Bar Road Bike and find out for yourself. Its designed to get aggressive, to push the boundaries of what anyone thought was possible on a gravel bike. With flat bars and geometry even more progressive then the new drop bar Diverge you better hang onto your flannel. With significantly increased reach, slackened head tube and lowered bottom bracket, you’re put right in the bike for a super planted feeling. From sending technical single track to ripping flowing fire road descents, if youre looking for a partner to take your gravel riding to new levels, nothings faster, more fun, or rowdier than the Diverge EVO.

With a Premium E5 Aluminum frame and the latest Future Shock 2.0 with an adjustable hydraulic damper offering 20mm of travel, the Diverge Expert E5 is uniquely qualified to tackle aggressive trails at high speed. The bike’s build is MTB inspired, with SRAM GX Eagle 1x12 shifting and extra stopping power thanks to SRAM Level TLM brakes. An TranzX dropper post is standard, as well as Specialized’s latest gravel tire designed for incredible traction, the new Rhombus Pro 42mm, on DT Swiss G540 alloy wheels.

Premium E5 Aluminum frame provides a stiff, light, and durable platform. When mated to a full carbon FACT fork, the Diverge EVO becomes a light, lively and versatile bike ready to tackle the most technical gravel and dirt as aggressively as you could wish.
Speed, control and confidence - Future Shock 1.5 is ideal technology for the gravel rider. With 20mm of axial compliance, Future Shock 1.5 is progressively tuned specifically for gravel riding. This keeps you confident and in control, able to keep the power down and stay off the brakes over rough dirt roads and in thick loose gravel, all while keeping your hands, arms and neck fresh.
With the Diverge EVO, Specialized took their new progressive gravel geometry to new levels. They lengthened the frame 30mm over a drop bar Diverge (Size Medium), lowered the bottom bracket and slackened the head tube. This gives the Diverge EVO more confidence over technical terrain while keeping the cockpit comfortable with flat bars. It also allows for a short stem to make all that stability feel nimble and quick at the bars.
Nothing unlocks a bike’s capability like tire clearance, so the Diverge EVO gets a whopping 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1” with a 650b wheel. Thanks to a drive side chain stay utilizing a machined alloy beam behind the chain rings the clearance is possible without using a fragile dropped chain stay design or increasing chain stay length..
