Introducing the Specialized Diverge STR Comp - the most capable gravel bike yet. Featuring Future Shock suspension technology, Shimano GRX820 groupset, and DT G540 wheels. Ride farther and faster over rough terrain with confidence. The perfect adventure companion for all your gravel rides.
The Diverge STR Comp 49 Gloss White Sage / Pearl is available at the following locations.
Please check with your nearest store before traveling to view any items, as some may require assembly or putting out display before this is possible.
The new Diverge STR takes compliance to the next level with Future Shock suspension front and rear, giving you a smoother, faster, and more controlled ride without compromise. By suspending the rider, rather than the bike, Future Shock increases efficiency, reduces fatigue, and improves control over rough, chunky terrain—allowing you to go farther and faster than ever before. And unlike traditional suspension systems, the Diverge STR avoids added weight and sluggish pedal response, delivering the performance you crave without the downsides.
Starting with our FACT 11r carbon frameset, the Diverge STR Comp is equipped with front and rear Future Shock suspension for maximum comfort and control. The Shimano GRX 820 groupset provides quick, reliable shifting with a 10-51 cassette, offering a wide range of gears for any adventure. The bike rolls on DT G540 wheels with 42mm Tracer Pro tires for all-terrain capability. Adventure Gear alloy handlebars, an S-Works carbon seatpost, and the Power Sport saddle complete the package, making the Diverge STR the most capable and comfortable gravel bike we’ve ever created.
The Future Shock Rear provides 30mm of rear travel, strategically positioned to smooth out rough roads and gravel without the negative effects of traditional suspension. Its hydraulic damping controls prevent bobbing under power and ensure you stay in control over big hits, all while maintaining pedalling efficiency and fit. With 20mm of front travel and 30mm rear travel, Future Shock absorbs bumps, increases control, and retains the efficient power transfer of a rigid frame. The result? A bike that’s light, nimble, responsive, and ready for anything.
Born from our Smoother is Faster philosophy, Future Shock was first developed for cobbled roads but has found its ultimate expression on gravel. The 20mm adjustable front travel keeps you on target while protecting your hands, arms, and shoulders from rough terrain, making every ride more comfortable and more efficient.
More capability means more confidence—and more fun. The Diverge STR is designed for maximum tire clearance, offering 47mm clearance on 700c wheels and 2.1” on 650b wheels. This opens up new possibilities for traction and comfort, making the Diverge STR the most capable and versatile gravel bike we’ve ever made. And trust us, we’ve done the math. More capability equals more fun.
Ready to conquer gravel roads and trails with unmatched comfort, speed, and control, the Diverge STR is the ultimate gravel bike for riders who demand the best.

Cycle to Work Scheme: Affordable Riding for UK Employees
Unlock a cost-effective way to own the bike of your dreams through the Cycle to Work Scheme. This initiative, available to employees in the UK, lets you enjoy the benefits of cycling while saving on your bike purchase.
With the Cycle to Work Scheme, you can use your pre-tax salary to acquire a brand-new bicycle and essential cycling accessories. This means significant savings for you, as your salary sacrifice reduces both your income tax and National Insurance contributions.
The process is seamless: Choose the bike that suits your needs and budget from our extensive range. Your employer will then set up a salary sacrifice arrangement, spreading the cost of your bike over a specified period, typically 12 to 18 months.
Once the salary sacrifice period ends, you have the option to own the bike outright for a nominal fee, ensuring you get to keep and enjoy your trusted two-wheeled companion for years to come.
Experience the freedom of cycling, save money, and reduce your carbon footprint with the Cycle to Work Scheme. Join countless UK employees who have already embraced this eco-friendly and wallet-friendly way of commuting.
