Diverge Comp E5

Delivery Icon

We deliver! Just say when and how.

Whether your goal is to escape on gravel back roads, far from cars and crowds, toe the start line at your first gravel race, or simply get the most versatile bike on the road or dirt, no bike is better than the new Diverge. It's quite simply the fastest, most capable - and just maybe the most fun - alloy bike we've ever made, delivering a ride that's quick and lively, but stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough. From Future Shock 1.5 and all-new gravel geometry, to category leading tire clearance, the new Diverge represents everything we've learned over more than 40 years of riding road, gravel and dirt. The Diverge writes an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category, so you can dream up entirely new rides. It's the ultimate getaway vehicle.

Starting with premium E5 alloy frame and a full carbon FACT fork, we gave the Diverge Comp E5 our Future Shock 1.5 for a fast, confident and comfortable ride on road, in the dirt, and over thick gravel. SRAM’s gravel-inspired Apex 1 group shifts 1x11 gears smoothly on any terrain and Axis Elite alloy wheels with Pathfinder Sport 38mm tires add even more capability and versatility.

Good bike but disappointing wheelset

The bike is great, and it felt great for the first year. Then, after the first full service, the back wheel kept coming out of true and eventually spokes started snapping. Note that this isn't covered by warranty and you will likely need to upgrade your wheelset after the first year. I treated myself to a set of Roval C38s and it feels like a new bike again, but just note that you will likely need to put in this additional budget to keep enjoying the bike.

Great hybrid ride

I'm 68 and ride on lots of gravel, some pavement, rail trails, and some very steep terrain in Vermont. My new Diverge tackles it all. It's pricey but I'm very happy with it. My only wish is that Specialized made a drop handlebar with more rise in it to give older riders a more upright posture.

Not impressed with the quality

This is a replacement commuter bike as my old S-Works bike's frame snapped. I've now have appx 400 miles on it over the 6-weeks I've owned it. While it's finally starting to act like a normal bike, I shouldn't have had to take it to the bike shop for repairs so soon and often. 1) (20 miles in) Main bearing noise (shop tightened axle bolt ... fixed) 2) (40 - 200 miles) More noise that took a while to pin down (found the factory bolts keep loosening on the tube bag - locktite fixed them) 3) Chain that keeps coming off the front gear. (Once/week -- usually happens when trying to catch the light at the bottom of a valley on my commute). Not sure how to fix? (p.s. I also have been speaking with corporate about my old bike. Be sure to keep your receipt as they only keep the warranty card on file for 8-years -- and in their own words, "Warranty cards are used for emails to send marketing communications. It's not there to prove ownership for the lifetime frame warranty.")

Great Bike w/ updates

Great bike. However, I (and others...search Diverge chain drop) had to change out components to stop dropping the chain off front chainring. Many have theories of issue...absolutely it does better when chain is properly sequenced with the Praxis chainring...but it will still drop with the right bump and a shift. Fixed it by replacing chainring, cassette, and chain to SRAM. Don't think all were required but was tired of messing around with the chain dropping so did it all at one time. 1x on my mountain bike is 100% bullet proof so I knew the Diverge could get there as well with the right combination of parts.

Wheels

Great bike I have one for road and one for dirt I have made both bike tubeless with no problems with the OEM wheels different tire options. No leaks I use orange seal & Wisky tape. The bike is super 60 mph on the down hills running 38 slicks and climbs like a goat on and off the pavement. Perfect bike. I’m going to order the full suspension version ASAP.

Riding this bike has been

Riding this bike has been a dream! I am 5'7", 30.5" inseam, my wingspan is 5'9". I have adjusted it to feel a bit smaller by moving the seat forward, I might look into getting a shorter stem as it is a teensy bit long for me. Other than that, the shifting is so smooth and speedy. The breaks work like a dream. I used to squeeze my regular breaks with all my might half way down the hill to stop in time. I haven't noticed the future shock, which might signal how great it is. The only drawback I would say is the seat it came with. It was so awful I had to change it out immediately.

Took this out for the first time last week and totally love it. It was an absolute pleasure to ride and made really short work of the hills. A lot more robust than my road bike, so I can extend my riding into the winter months now.

Swiss Army knife of Bikes

I was pleasantly surprised by this bike. Normally a road biker on an S-works with much higher end components. However, for the price point this is great. Worked nice both on and off road. Could tell the difference off road. The gearing on the 1X was nice and the bike was compliant at speed. Slightly slower than my road bike on road (about 2 MPH slower every 10 miles). However, lots of fun both on and off road. Nice change of pace when I want to ride gravel. Hesitated to ride and aluminum frame but the tire width made up for the aluminum frame. Lots of fun at the price point. I have the future shock 2.0 on my road bike but the Future shock 1.5 was nice on this platform. Nice ride for the price point!
