Introducing the Specialized Diverge Elite E5, the ultimate adventure bike for gravel and dirt. With premium alloy frame, carbon fork, and Shimano GRX 400 groupset, this bike offers speed, comfort, and versatility. Explore new terrain with confidence and stability.

Whether you’re chasing the freedom of gravel backroads, gearing up for your first gravel race, or simply seeking the most versatile bike to tackle both road and dirt, the new Diverge is your ultimate ride. It's the fastest, most capable, and possibly the most fun alloy bike we've ever created. Quick and lively on smooth roads, yet stable and confidence-inspiring when the terrain gets rough, the Diverge is designed to handle it all. With new gravel geometry and class-leading tire clearance, it’s the culmination of over 40 years of road, gravel, and dirt riding expertise. The Diverge marks a new era in gravel bikes, enabling you to explore uncharted territory and unlock new adventures. It’s the ultimate getaway vehicle.

The Diverge Elite E5 features a premium E5 alloy frame and a full carbon FACT fork, offering a fast, confident, and comfortable ride on both tarmac and off-road terrain. Shimano’s gravel-focused GRX 400 group provides smooth 2x10 shifting, while Axis Elite alloy wheels with 38mm Pathfinder tires deliver a balanced ride—fast on pavement and versatile on hardpack gravel.

Light and Durable

The E5 aluminium frame is stiff, lightweight, and durable, offering a solid platform for handling a variety of terrain. Paired with the carbon FACT fork, the Diverge Elite E5 becomes a lively, responsive bike that thrives on road and gravel alike.

Versatile and Ready for Adventure

With multiple rack mounts, including fork and top tube mounts, the Diverge is designed to carry everything you need for long rides or extended bikepacking trips. Whether you're hitting the gravel or the road, you can bring along the essentials for your next adventure.

Unmatched Tire Clearance

The Diverge offers a remarkable 47mm tire clearance with 700c wheels and up to 2.1” clearance on 650b wheels. We’ve designed the bike with a unique drive-side chainstay, using a solid beam of carbon behind the chainrings to maximise clearance without adding complexity or compromising the bike's durability. This innovative design keeps the chainstays strong, while avoiding fragile dropped chainstays or longer stays that affect ride quality.

The Diverge is built to go further, ride faster, and explore more. It’s the ultimate bike for those who want to break free and push the boundaries of where a gravel bike can take you.

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.
