Specialized Diverge Sport

This Diverge sits at the speedier end of the Gravel/Adventure spectrum. As with all our bikes it has been tailored for the perfect fit, and in this case that means the addition of a Specialized Power Expert saddle - their relatively new but incredibly successful shape that blends a proper performance shape with long-ride comfort.

Schwalbe's G-One Speed tyres provide good grip on sketchy surfaces, but with a relatively slim 30mm width and low-profile tread they are aimed primarily at speed on varied road surfaces rather than ploughing through mud and stones.

So, when built up with the always reliable Shimano 105 hydro disc groupset what we have here is a mile-munching all-weather adventure bike that isn't afraid to get its wheels dirty.
