Specialized has debuted a new bicycle dubbed the ‘Diverge STR,’ which serves as an updated version of the brand’s previous gravel bike that incorporates a ‘Future Shock Rear’ design. This design element gives the bike a flexible frame post that moves back and forwards to reduce fatigue while the damper and tendon control compression and rebound, keeping you seated and secure.
The ‘Diverge STR’ boasts a tailored gravel suspension system that makes riding on uneven gravel or terrain smoother. In addition, the bike features the same ‘Future Shock 2.0’ system from the 2021 edition of the bike, along with the same 47mm tire clearance and down tube SWAT storage.
The ‘Diverge STR’ is available on Specialized’s website, along with additional accessories like tires, saddles, and wheels.
