Now available at Bicycle Warehouse! Meet the next chapter of gravel. Diverge 4 blends speed, capability, and confidence in a reimagined design built for big days and bigger adventures.

Back in 1974, Specialized's founder, Mike Sinyard sold his VW van for "adventure capital" and set off to ride across Europe. That get-out-and-go mindset has driven how Specialized has designed their bikes ever since. For more than a decade, Diverge has carried that spirit with a blend of speed, capability, and confidence.

The release of the Diverge 4 has taken Specialized's winning recipe for fun-loving, capable gravel bikes to the next level. Find out for yourself.
