The Specialized Diverge E5 is a gravel bike with an E5 Premium aluminum alloy frame and a FACT carbon fork. It is built for pavement, gravel roads and off-road riding. The frame is stiff, light and durable.
The gravel geometry has a longer reach, a slacker head angle and more fork offset, which adds stability on dirt. A shorter stem keeps the steering agile and brings the cockpit closer to the rider. The bottom bracket is low for stability but high enough to fit 650b wheels.
The frame and fork have multiple rack mounts, including on the fork and top tube, for carrying gear on longer trips. The drive-side chainstay has a CNC-machined structure near the chainrings. This allows more tire clearance without lengthening the chainstays.
