First off, I really love the bike. It was affordable and rides like a dream. However, the front and rear derailleur were non functional and both needed to be tuned. The limit screws were no where near close and the indexing was non existent.

Wanted to get a bit fitter and stay in shape, as a back problem stops me from running and going to the gym. I wanted a gravel bike as I live rurally and the roads are a bit rough here and there and after lots of research and video reviews, it looked like the Specialized Diverge E5 was hard to beat for the price and had tons of positive reviews, so I took ownership of my Diverge last week and went on my first Ride today of 14km, firstly I am out of shape and my leg muscles are not as good as I thought, but the bike was great, it is comfortable, light and rides like a dream and I had no back pain, so all I have to do now is get fit and I know I chose the right bike to do it on.

Incredible bike 🚲

I was looking for a road bike and found this gravel bike. I made the purchase and have put just under 750 miles on this bike. I love the ride so far I haven't changed anything except the pedals. The ride is smooth and it handles well on gravel and roads. I would purchase again.

I was looking for a gravel bike or road bike for around €1300 and the Diverge E5 was the perfect choice. It has the correct gear set-up for me in older age and is a dream to ride. Which I had purchased one earlier.
