I have put a couple thousand miles on my Diverge Evo. It is a wonderful bike that has spent most of its time on Gravel or paved path rides, but I have put a couple hundred mile of mountain biking some of it on true technical single track. It is currently built up with Carbon Roval rims, Specialized cobbler gobbler seat post and Thompson Carbon Bar. If you are careful with your line this bike is quick and can do a lot.

Bought this as a temporary replacement frame set while my hand built steel frame is being repaired. Built it up with most of my parts off the other bike and am blown away at what a nice riding and handling bike this turned into. I have been considering a custom Ti frame and this aluminum frame rides wonderfully with none of the harshness of aluminum from many years ago. The addition of the 2.0 Future shock seemed a bit gimmicky but after a number of dirt road and local trail rides here in AZ I am wondering why this isn't standard on all bikes. It's really great on Tucson's terrible roads as well with no negative effect on handling. This bike is super comfy as the frame geometry sets up great as a drop bar gravel bike and all of the sturdy attachment points makes for a solid bikepacking rig. Finish is spot on so the only think left to say is that Specialized should sell this as a complete drop bar bike as it is light and very rugged at a very favorable price. It's a keeper!
