Specialized has updated its Diverge gravel bike, moving away from its STR rear suspension system and toward a more neutral but compliant frame design.
First seen at Unbound Gravel in May, the bike retains its Future Shock 3.0, with 20 mm of travel stored in the steerer tube, while the seat post is designed to deflect backward over the roughest terrain. This post creates a balanced bump dampening without adding the weight and moving parts of the Future Shock Rear suspension system as seen in the STR models.
