2021 Specialized Diverge Base Disc Gravel Bike The entry-level model in the Specialized Diverge carbon range, the Diverge Base Disc Gravel Bike is engineered from stiff, strong FACT 8r carbon. It features the same progressive geometry as the top-end models, one that is slacker and longer, with a bottom bracket that's high enough to accommodate 650b wheels but low enough for stability over the rougher stuff. It offers a responsive ride feel, with a Future Shock 1.5 damper taking out the worst of the impacts from bumpy roads and trails and saving your hands, arms and neck from associated discomfort and fatigue.SRAM Apex components complement the bike perfectly, bringing efficiency and performance to your shifting and braking. The combination of a 40t chainring and 11-42-tooth cassette ensures enough gears for tackling climbs and building up speed on fast descents alike. Specialized's Axis Elite Disc wheels and Specialized Pathfinder Sport tyres are a reliable choice, just what you need for all-terrain riding. If longer adventures and multi-day bikepacking trips are your thing, you can mount luggage with ease.SPECIFICATIONS:Frame: Specialized Diverge FACT 8r carbon, SWAT™ Door integration, Future Shock suspension, threaded BB, internal routing, 12x142mm thru-axle, flat-mount discFork: Specialized Future Shock 1.5 with Smooth Boot, FACT carbon, 12x100mm thru-axle, flat-mountBottom Bracket: SRAM GXPStem: Specialized Future Stem Comp with integrated computer mountHandlebar: Specialized Adventure Gear Hover, 103mm drop x 70mm reach x 12-degree flareBar Tape: Specialized Roubaix S-WrapFront Brake: SRAM Apex, hydraulic discRear Brake: SRAM Apex, hydraulic discBrake Levers: SRAM Apex 1x HRDFront Derailleur: N/ARear Derailleur: SRAM Apex 1, long cage, 11-speedShift Levers: SRAM Apex 1x HRDCassette: SunRace, 11-speed, alloy spider, 11-42tCrankset: SRAM Apex 1x GXP, 40tChain: KMC X11 Extra Lightweight, 11-speedFront Wheel: Specialized Axis Elite Disc, 21mm internal width, alloy rim, 23mm depth, 14g spokes, 24hRear Wheel: Specialized Axis Elite Disc, 21mm internal width, alloy rim, 23mm depth, 14g spokes, 28hFront Tyre: Specialized Pathfinder Sport, transparent sidewall, 700x38mm, clincherRear Tyre: Specialized Pathfinder Sport, transparent sidewall, 700x38mm, clincherSaddle: Specialized Power, hollow steel railsSeatpost: Specialized, carbon, single-bolt, 27.2mmPedals: Specialized Dirt
