SPECIALIZED Diverge STR S-Works 2023 Gravel Frame

With Future Shock front and rear suspension, the new Diverge STR delivers uncompromising performance. By suspending the rider, rather than the bike, Future Shock technology increases control and efficiency while decreasing fatigue, so you´ll ride farther and faster over bumpy terrain, even further than you thought possible. And the Diverge STR does it without the weight, slow pedal response and inefficiency of other suspension systems. The S-Works Diverge STR starts with our FACT 11r carbon frame with Future Shock suspension front and rear. - Suspending the rider with adjustable travel - 20mm front / 30mm rear - Future Shock technology absorbs forces caused by uneven terrain to increase control and capability on the bike, while maintaining the efficiency and responsiveness so characteristic of this frame, because when it comes to power transfer, it´s a very stiff frame. Pedaling hard on uneven terrain makes the bike jump like a scaredy cat. The new Diverge STR is efficient, comfortable, and very manageable. It is light, agile and responsive. - The new Diverge thrives on perfect lines and curves. The Future Shock rear shock puts 30 mm of rear travel to smooth out rough roads. Its hydraulic damping controls travel to eliminate ´roll´ when pedaling and makes sure big impacts never catapult you out of the saddle, all without compromising pedaling technique and efficiency. - Born out of decades of innovation and our ´Smoother is Faster´ philosophy, Future Shock was created to develop bikes that win on cobbles, but has found its purest expression in Gravel. It´s 20mm of adjustable, damped front travel that keeps you in total control, while protecting your hands, arms and shoulders from bumps. - More capability means more confidence, more confidence means more trails, more trails means more fun, and it all starts at the ground contact zone. Nothing increases capability more than a good wheel arch. 47mm on a 700c wheel and 2.1´ on 650B. The Diverge STR is the most capable Gravel bike we´ve ever made, so it´s the most fun. Don´t worry, the math is done. - The S-Works Diverge STR FACT 11r carbon frame is tamer than any curved handlebar bike we´ve ever made, but adds only 100 grams compared to the S-Works Diverge frame. Never have so few grams added so much capability. Climb, race or load it up with bags and accessories for long rides - the Diverge STR does it all faster and without the hassle of excess baggage.
