Product Description
The Specialized Diverge E5 is the one bike to take you to work, blast around town, let you keep up with friends on longer rides, as well as having an off-road adventure. This is a gravel road bike with greater ambitions.
The Specialized E5 Premium aluminium alloy frame is lightweight and stiff, allowing fantastic power transfer while being compliant and softening bumps along the way. With help from the Roubaix, the new Diverge frame is lighter, stiffer and more durable. The Open Road Geometry takes cues from Specialized’s trail mountain bikes, with slacker a head angle which relaxes and stabilises the steering, for greater predictability. A lower bottom bracket than the previous Diverge as well as short chainstays make it a playful handling bike, one that’s as at home on fire roads as it is on city streets.
The frame comes equipped for adventure, with Plug and Play rack mounts, fender mounts, three bottle cages mounts and massive tyre clearance, large enough for 38c tyres and a load of mud. An easy threaded bottom bracket, flat mount disc mounts, and a 12x142mm thru axle and rear spacing makes the Diverge up to date. The FACT Carbon fork does a wonderful job of minimising vibrations coming from the wheels. It has 12x100 spacing with a thru-axle that helps give the Diverge predictable handling.
The Shimano 2x9 speed drivetrain is reliable and shifts reliably with a 11-32T cassette for a wide gear range. It allows for a large range of hills to be climbed with the larger 32T rear cog and the smaller 48/32T chainset. Managing the speed are Tektro Mira cable disc brakes.
A single bike that can speed through cities and forest roads with equal performance, have fun on the Specialized Diverge E5 Sport.
