2026 Specialized Diverge E5

With all-new gravel geometry and category leading tyre clearance, the new Diverge represents everything Specialized have learned over more than 40 years of riding road, gravel and dirt. The Diverge writes an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category, so you can dream up entirely new rides. It’s the ultimate getaway vehicle.

With a premium E5 alloy frame and a full carbon FACT fork the Diverge E5 delivers a fast, confident and comfortable ride on road, in the dirt, and over thick gravel. Shimano’s Cues 2×10 group gives a wide range of gears for any terrain, while Axis Elite alloy wheels and Pathfinder 40mm tires provide an efficient ride on pavement with the versatility for hard pack dirt riding.

• Specialized’s Premium E5 Aluminum frame provides a stiff, light, and durable platform. When mated to their full carbon FACT fork, the Diverge E5 becomes a light, lively and versatile bike ready to attack any surface.
• Specialized tossed gravel geometry status quo out the window. The new Diverge has the most progressive geometry they’ve ever created for a drop bar bike, giving riders a capable and stable bike in the dirt that still feels responsive and nimble on the road. They’ve increased the frame’s reach, introduced a slacker head tube and a longer offset fork. All this creates incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt while spec’ing shorter stems keeps the overall cockpit length the same and the steering lively. They’ve kept the bike’s BB low to increase stability but high enough to utilise with 650b wheels if that’s your jam.
• Specialized have given the Diverge plenty of rack mounts, including fork and top tube mounts, to ensure you can take what you need, no matter how far you plan to go, or how long you plan to stay out.
• Nothing unlocks a bike’s capability like tyre clearance, so Specialized gave the new Diverge a whopping 47mm of tyre clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1” with a 650b wheel.
