Specialized Diverge E5 Comp 2019 - Gravel Bike (Satin Battleship/Hyper)

Reducing a bike that could do anything was difficult. Of course, some work well as road bike and cross bike, while others are good for commuting and short road trips, but until Diverge, nothing was clever for all types of cyclists . However, the Diverge E5 Comp is designed to explore new roads, go to class and everything else. It redefines what a road bike can do. So, roll wherever you want. This bike does not take "no" as an answer. The Diverge is better than ever. And with the constant aim of optimally meeting your needs, we have taken into account your number one request: tire clearance. The new frame will comfortably accommodate tires up to 700 x 38 mm with plenty of room for mud. In addition to tire play, weight has been an important factor in the development and, taking into account the development design of the Roubaix, we have developed an E5 Premium aluminum frame that is very light, certainly rigid for difficult efforts and undeniable. we moved away from a traditional "cross geometry" to opt for something we had never seen before - our open road geometry. You can think of it as a road version of the modern geometry of the track bike. It offers playful maneuverability and predictable direction for endless skids and mid-turn galleries. The geo includes a crankset half a centimeter lower than the previous Diverge, a relaxed steering tube angle, short bases and a short wheelbase. These changes ensure that the bike is not only fun on the dirt, but also good on the road. And although riding on gravel roads or dirt on a road bike can add to the adventure, tires wider with lower pressures can absorb, in terms of bumps. With this in mind, we have implemented a new version of our Future Shock concept in the Diverge concept. Not only does it absorb bumps easily, but it also brings the benefit of extremely predictable handling. Indeed, the wheelbase does not get longer when you hit a bump, so the front of the Diverge retains the same effective steering tube angle. In other words, when you dive into a bend, you will not be surprised by under-steered or careless driving. Unlike the original Future Shock (present on the Roubaix), the Diverge version has a progressive spring that makes this technology more suitable for off-road applications, where a stiffer suspension is often necessary to absorb bumps. and the bigger obstacles. talents, we completed with three fixtures for water bottles, as well as fasteners for luggage racks and fenders. For the purposes of the specification, we wanted to make sure that the speeds were well defined and that the brakes were smooth. So you'll find a precise and reliable Shimano 105, Tektro Spyre mechanical disc brakes and a pair of Axis Sport Disc.Key wheels. Features: Our Premium E5 aluminum frame features our comfortable and confident Open Road geometry, our suspension Progressive Future Shock with 20mm travel and forward / reverse thru axles making it the perfect tool for your next adventure., The lightweight FACT carbon fork has plenty of stiffness, increased maneuverability and lightweight overall weight ., With Shimano 105 taking the reins of change, you will experience rapid changes for years to come.
