If you're like us, the last thing you want is for your bike to hold you back from having the ride of your life. Whether it's rough roads or flowy singletrack, we want you to ride it without thinking, "That looks fun, but I can't do it on this bike." We're tired of being restricted, and that's why we developed the new Men's Diverge Expert X1 from Specialized. Now, you can get out there and not only explore new roads, but entirely new rides we promise that the bike won't be a limiting factor.The Diverge is more capable than ever. And with the goal of meeting your needs in mind, we took your number one request into account tyre clearance. The new frame comfortably fits up to 700x42mm (or 650b x 47mm) tyres with plenty of room for mud, too. Along with tyre clearance, weight was a large factor in the development, and taking some design cues from the Roubaix, we developed a FACT 9r carbon frame that's one of the lightest in its category.We moved away from a traditional 'cross geometry and instead opted for something that hasn't been seen before our Open Road Geometry. Think of it as a road version of modern trail bike geometry. It provides playful handling and predictable steering for endless dirt skids and mid-corner drifts. The geo features a bottom bracket that's over a half-centimetre lower than the previous Diverge, a slacked-out head tube angle, short chainstays, and a short wheelbase. These changes make for a bike that's not only fun in the dirt but also performs well on the road.While riding gravel and dirt roads on a road bike may add to the adventure, wider tyres with lower pressures can only absorb so much in terms of bumps. With this in mind, we implemented a new version of our Future Shock into the Diverge design. It not only soaks up bumps with ease but also adds the benefit of extremely predictable handling. That's because the wheelbase doesn't lengthen when you hit a bump, so the front end of the Diverge keeps the same effective head tube angle. In other words, when you dive hard into a turn, you won't be surprised by under-steer or sloppy handling. Unlike the original Future Shock (found on the Roubaix), the Diverge's version features a progressive spring that makes this technology more suitable for off-road applications, where stiffer suspension is often needed to absorb larger bumps and obstacles.To add to its multifaceted talents, we topped it off with three water bottle mounts, mounts for racks and fenders, and our Road SWAT kit that fits a tube, CO2, CO2 head, valve extender, and money clip. So, while it's one of the most smile-inducing bikes you'll ever ride, it's equally adept at commuting or even bikepacking. And for the spec, we made a no-compromise build, with a full SRAM Force 1 groupset with hydraulic disc brakes, Roval C38 carbon wheels, and fast-rolling 700x38mm Sawtooth tyres.
