S-Works Diverge STR

S-Works Diverge STR

With Future Shock suspension front and rear, the 2023 S-Works Diverge STR Road Bike delivers compliance without compromise. By suspending the rider - instead of the bike - Future Shock technology increases control and efficiency while decreasing fatigue, so you’ll be riding farther and faster over chunkier terrain than you believed possible. The Diverge STR does this without the weight, sluggish pedal response, and inefficiency of other suspension systems. The S-Works Diverge STR starts with our FACT 11r carbon frameset with front and rear Future Shock suspension. It’s built with SRAM’s Red eTap AXS Eagle groupset for fast, efficient shifting with a 10-50 cassette to ensure you have the gearing to tackle any ride and a Quarq power meter helps you to dose your effort to perfection. The bike rolls on the new, lighter Roval Terra CLX II wheels with 42mm Tracer Pro tires. Terra carbon bars, an S-Works carbon seatpost, and S-Works Power with Mirror saddle complete the package making the Diverge STR the most capable Diverge ever.

• By suspending the rider with damped, tunable travel 20 mm front 30 mm rearFuture Shock Technology absorbs bump forces to boost your control and capability while retaining the efficiency and responsiveness of a rigid frame. Because as far as power transfer goes, it is a rigid frame. Power to the pedals makes the bike jump like a scared cat. You're efficient, you're comfortable, you're in control. Your bike is light, nimble, and responsive.
  
• The Diverge doesn't just have gorgeous lines, it has perfect curves too. Future Shock Rear puts 30mm of rear travel in the ideal path to smooth out rough roads. Its hydraulic damping controls travel to eliminate bobbing under power and ensure big hits never catapult you from the saddle, all without compromising fit or pedaling efficiency.
  
• Born from decades of innovation and a Smoother is Faster philosophy, Future Shock was created to develop bikes that win on cobblestones, but it found its purest expression on gravel. Its 20mm of adjustable, damped front travel keeps you in control and on target, all while protecting your hands, arms, and shoulders from the battering.
  
• More capability means more confidence, more confidence means more rides, more rides mean more fun, and it all starts at the contact patch. Nothing unlocks capability like tire clearance, and Specialized was feeling generous. 47mm on a 700c wheel and 2.1 on 650B. Diverge STR is the most capable gravel bike they've ever made, so it's also the most fun. Do the math.
