The Ultimate Getaway Vehicle
Race-tuned. Adventure-approved. The Diverge 4 gravel bike is built for full-gas race days and off-grid epics. With Future Shock 3.0, our most responsive frame ever, massive tire clearance, and the biggest internal storage in gravel, the best gravel bike in the world just got better. Chase the horizon—or your rivals—it’s built for both.
Absurdly Capable
Future Shock 3.0
Proven up to 53% smoother & 11 watts faster.
The Specialized Science Club
To quantify the benefits of Future Shock 3.0, our
Specialized Science Club partnered with the German Sports University of Cologne
to run independent, controlled lab tests comparing Future Shock equipped bikes
to rigid frames.
- Test
setup: Bikes fitted with telemetry sensors and accelerometers - Conditions:
Repeated 30kph runs over 22mm bumps
Peak Impact Forces in G’s and Power Savings:
- Competitor
bikes: up to 36g - Future
Shock 3.0-equipped Bikes: 11g - Up
to an 11-watt saving on Rough Gravel
Result: Not only does Future shock help
eliminate the constant vibration of a gravel road, it reduces peak impacts at
the bars and saddle by 53% vs. the nearest competition. Less vibration, reduced
fatigue, and more consistent traction on rough terrain. Future Shock 3.0
doesn’t just feel faster—it is faster.
20mm of Smooth Travel
Tunable, adjustable, hydraulically damped travel without
compromising responsiveness
The Cheat Code for Gravel
Confidence and control unlock real speed. Smoother is Faster
is the proven principle behind Future Shock, and the all-new Future Shock 3.0
takes it to the next level. First introduced on the Roubaix SL8, the smoothest,
fastest endurance bike ever made, Future Shock has already proven itself,
winning on everything from the cobbles of Roubaix to the gravel of Unbound.
Positioned between the stem and headtube, Future Shock 3.0
delivers 20mm of hydraulically damped travel, absorbing impacts without
compromising weight, handling, or responsiveness. It’s more tunable, more
adjustable, and delivers all it’s travel to more riders, regardless of fit.
With improved sealing, it’s engineered to float over chaos in any weather and
keep your power driving you forward season after season.
New SWAT + 50mm Tire Clearance
Wild gravel, deep exploration, and 200-mile races take
capabilities we only dreamed of a few years ago. We invented SWAT storage and
pioneered big tires in gravel, so you know we had to take it to the next level.
SWAT 4.0 Storage
Super tanker meets speed boat. More storage. Better
ergonomics. Sleeker design.
SWAT 4.0 is the most advanced internal storage system
ever fitted to a gravel bike. With a flush-mount, lever-operated door and the
largest opening on gravel, it makes room for everything from tubes and CO2s to
jackets, tools, and nutrition.
- More
Storage Than Any Competitor. - 1438
cubic centimeters: Size 56cm - Flush

*all at once!
Diverge 4 supports up to 50mm tires (700c), offering
massive grip, fewer flats, and supreme comfort. Developed with input from our
Factory Off-Road Team, the new clearance standard is optimized for high-speed
racing and rough exploration.
- 50mm
tire clearance (700c) - Clearance
maintained even in muddy conditions - Also
fits 2.2" MTB tires with appropriate clearance
Beam Me Up!
A carbon beam replaces a traditional carbon tube for
maximum rear clearance.
On carbon Diverge 4 we use a small section of solid, high
modulus carbon fiber on the chainstay to make it as thin as possible and
deliver massive tire clearance, at a light weight, with our desired stiffness.
We route the cable through the chainstay protector instead of through the
chainstay. Tire clearance and a quiet drivetrain. It’s a match made in gravel
heaven.
