There's lots to love about this bike. The fit and ride is superb. This bike is snappy and very comfortable. I'm riding paved and gravel rail trails, and I'm completely loving the 1x setup for its simplicity. The extra-clean look of the single ring is cool too. The shock... well worth it. I'm apprehensive about the Axis group, but given the complete lack of any bikes in stock anywhere, I decided to take a chance, and here's where I confronted my first disappointment so far: shifting was out of whack right out of the gate on the first ride. The shop that sold me was the bike was a two hour drive away from home. They said it would be an overnight repair, no exceptions, so I paid a local Specialized shop to do it rather than make two return trips, two hours in each direction. Spent nearly $4K on a bike and got no support. Disappointed in the shop. Disappointing that Specialized wouldn't reimburse me for the tune up on a bike that hadn't even turned a wheel yet. It runs great now.

done ~1500 miles, only problem was jumping gears 3m old, just needed the cable tightened, still rides and stops like a new bike find it hard to be critical as I haven't had any issues with my bike, use dry lube after every long ride and thats about it, good pair of cycling shorts and noise cancelling ear pods and away I go for hours only stopping now and again for a drink or appreciate the view OK I'm used to mountain bikes last 30y so not an authority on road bikes but the difference, speed and ride is so positive I'm just very happy, so sad even went out on Christmas day at 8am for 70m ride, roads were quite and weather mild, great start to the day

Great bike and I’ve had no problems. Light and snappy. Price point is a little high to run Apex however

Agree with the other review. I love this bike but the rear hub is crap.

Never disappointed rolling on fire road and single track….one of the best gravel geometry , future stem is a plus!…

First spin today on my new Carbon Diverge on miles of dirt, muddy roads in Boulder, CO...couldn't be happier with my choice!

Getting back into cycling after a long break, This bike ticked all the boxes. (Style,Quality, Comfort,Speed) although I never knew how good it was till I rode it. The bike makes me smile It's my commute to work, social & solo rides, great daily fitness Thank you Specialized. I'm inspired daily when riding My Diverge

Bought the Diverge Base Carbon to replace my AWOL of many years. So happy with this purchase. It's a fantastic bike. The only feedback I'd give is that for this price point it should come with Force 1. Also, I was unaware that this level comes with Future Shock 1.5 not 2.0 so be aware.

Not much heavier than my old 2012 Tarmac carbon it replaced. I run it with 42c Sawtooth tubeless. With these and the shock most road bumps are absorbed, rides great on smooth/gravel/forest trail and still does a good speed on the road. Great bike
