While the Specialized Crux remains the lightweight gravel racer (and cyclocross bike, let’s not forget) in the brand’s lineup, the Diverge has become the de facto machine of choice for its gravel pros, and the most popular option for amateurs and casualists too thanks to an extensive lineup of carbon and alloy models.
Today the Californian giant has updated the Diverge platform with the new Specialized Diverge 4, firmly aimed at taking on the best gravel bikes on the market today, and while at a glance the new model looks strikingly similar to the outgoing one – we first saw it in action at Unbound this year – there are some significant tweaks that bring it up to date with current gravel sensibilities for both gravel racing and more adventure style riding.
