Description
Specialized Diverge E5 Alloy Gravel Bike 2026
The Specialized Diverge E5 is built for riders who want to escape on gravel back roads, line up for their first race, or simply enjoy the most versatile bike for road and dirt. With its premium alloy frame, progressive gravel geometry and generous tyre clearance, it is fast, capable and confidence inspiring across all terrains.
The lightweight and durable Diverge
A premium E5 alloy frame provides a stiff, lightweight and durable platform, paired with a full carbon FACT fork for low weight and comfort. Together they create a lively and versatile bike ready to handle any surface.
Specialized gravel geometry
The Diverge features Specialized’s most progressive gravel geometry yet. A longer reach, slacker head tube and increased fork offset deliver stability and control on rough ground, while shorter stems maintain a nimble and responsive feel on the road. A low bottom bracket adds stability while remaining compatible with 650b wheels.
With clearance for up to 47 mm tyres on 700c wheels or 2.1” on 650b, the Diverge offers class leading versatility, ensuring capability on everything from smooth tarmac to demanding gravel tracks.
