Specialized Diverge E5 Comp

The Specialized Diverge E5 Comp is a high-performance gravel bike designed for those who want to tackle races, bikepacking adventures, and long dirt roads with maximum control, comfort, and speed. Versatile, responsive, and ready for any challenge, it represents one of the most advanced models in the aluminum Diverge range.

Thanks to its Premium E5 aluminum frame, Future Shock 3.1 suspension, and SRAM Apex Eagle 1x12 drivetrain, this gravel bike ensures high performance on both technical terrain and long distances. Its modern geometry and generous tire clearance also allow you to confidently tackle uneven surfaces, gravel roads, and more challenging gravel trails.

Future Shock 3.1: Superior comfort and control

The Diverge E5 Comp integrates the Future Shock 3.1 system, an advanced front suspension designed to absorb vibrations and impacts from the ground. This system improves comfort, stability, and control, reducing fatigue during longer and more demanding rides.

The FACT Carbon fork with a 12x100 mm thru-axle further contributes to precise handling and overall weight reduction, making the bike agile and responsive even during intense accelerations.

Frame with integrated SWAT™ 3.0 compartment

One of the distinctive features of the Specialized Diverge E5 Comp is the practical SWAT™ 3.0 compartment integrated into the down tube, perfect for carrying tools, inner tubes, snacks, or accessories without the need for additional bags. A clever solution that enhances aesthetics, practicality, and weight distribution.

Uncompromising gravel performance

The SRAM Apex Eagle 1x12 drivetrain offers a wide and versatile gear range thanks to the 11-50T cassette, ideal for tackling steep climbs, long dirt roads, and fast sections with maximum fluidity.

The DT Swiss G540 Tubeless Ready wheels paired with Specialized Tracer TLR 700x45 tires ensure high traction, comfort, and smooth rolling on all types of terrain, from compacted gravel to more technical trails.

A Complete Guide to Bike Sizes

Foreword: Not all bike sizes are the same

Each type of bike has a specific frame and often uses a different size scale. For example, a road bike with a 54cm frame might be considered a medium size by one brand, but a large by another.

Bicycle adjustment margins

Some types of bikes, like gravel bikes, offer a wide range of adjustments, adapting to different body types. Other models, however, have limitations in this regard. This is an important aspect to consider.

How to use size charts

We've created a simple guide to help you find the right bike size:

1. Check out our size charts for each bike type.
2. Learn more with specific tips to help you make the right choice.

Size Charts: Find Your Perfect Bike

Gravel and road bikes

Sizes are based on the length of the top tube (in cm), which determines the reach of the bike.

For gravel, measurements may vary slightly due to different geometries, but remain similar.

Mountain bike

MTBs are measured in inches, based on the seat tube.

Sizes also vary depending on the type of MTB: full-suspension , hardtail or fat bike .

Children's bikes

The size depends on the size of the wheels, often associated with age:

What to do with half measures?

If you are between two sizes:

• Comfort : Choose the larger size.
• Performance : Go for the smaller size.

Final tips for choosing

1. Consult the manufacturer's instructions : Always check the brand's guidelines.
2. Ask an expert : a specialized workshop can help you choose based on your height, ideal reach and goals.
3. Test the bike : If possible, test the model you intend to purchase.
