2020 Specialized Diverge X1 Disc Gravel Bike (GERACYCLES)

Constructed from stiff and light FACT 9r carbon, the Specialized Diverge X1 Disc Gravel Bike is great value and packed with technology to enhance performance and ride enjoyment. The Open Road Geometry means a slacker head tube angle, lower bottom bracket and shorter chainstays. The result? Playful, agile handling and stable steering, while stiffness and power transfer remain high. You'll appreciate the Future Shock progressive suspension with 20mm of travel when you hit rougher trails, with the shock absorption improving control. There's also plenty of clearance for wide tyres that'll further smooth out the bumps.
Features
Specialized FACT 9r carbon frame and fork
Open Road Geometry offers playful handling and predictable steering for endless dirt skids and mid-corner drifts, but keeps stiffness high
Bottom bracket over half a centimetre lower than the previous Diverge, slacker head tube angle, shortened chainstays, shorter wheelbase
Future Shock soaks up bumps with ease, and also adds the benefit of extremely predictable handling. Features a progressive spring that makes the technology more suitable for off-road applications, where stiffer suspension is often needed to soak-up larger bumps and obstacles
Clearance for either 700x42mm or 650bx47mm tyres
Three water bottle mounts, mounts for racks and mudguards, and the Road SWAT™ kit (purchased separately)
