Specialized Diverge STR Comp Metallic Midnight Shadow/Violet Ghost Pearl

Specialized Diverge STR Comp – Carbon Gravel Bike with Front and Rear Future Shock

The Specialized Diverge STR Comp is built for riders who want more comfort, control and efficiency on long rides, rough surfaces and fast gravel adventures. With its high-quality FACT 11r carbon frame, Future Shock technology at the front and rear and a robust Shimano GRX 1x12-speed setup, it is made for demanding gravel rides, bikepacking tours and fast off-road efforts.

What makes the Diverge STR Comp special is its unique ride feel. Instead of suspending the entire frame like a traditional full-suspension bike, Future Shock technology is designed to suspend the rider. At the front, the bike features Future Shock 3.2 with damper, while the STR rear system provides up to 30 mm of travel. The result is a smoother, more controlled ride on gravel, cobbles and rough roads – without losing the direct handling of a performance gravel bike.

The specification is equally focused on performance and versatility. The Shimano GRX RX820 1x12-speed groupset delivers precise shifting, while the wide-range 10-51T cassette gives you the gearing needed for steep climbs, fast sections and long-distance rides. DT Swiss G540 wheels with a 24 mm internal width and Tracer Pro 2BR tyres in 700x42 provide traction, comfort and confidence across changing terrain.
