2021 Specialized Diverge Comp E5 EVO - $1600

[@fishermansmobileweighstati3645]

Nice bike. This reminds me of my early 90s Cannondale M700 mountain bike which I still use.

[@johncaban4310]

How about SM 800 Beast of the East!

[@fenderbender5987]

I don't want a MTN bike or a road bike or own one of each. But I want a flat bar. Thanks Specialized.

[@manabiker]

Gravel bike have come along way from the CX beginnings, my Specialized Sequoia 2017, I've changed to 750mm flat bars, the wind on gravel roads was mean, I now have 640mm 50mm rise, with trigger shifter, real MTB brakes levers, I kept the 105/RS505 calipers and deraileurs, (in winter with Bar Mitts the finicky RS505's, and drop bars are hard to use, dangerous) the frame is Cromoly, threaded BB, carbon fork 12mm through axles, I ride year round in Michigan, freeze thaw makes our gravel roads like mine fields so I've got Red Shift stem/seatpost, Axis Sport wheels, 42 Sawtooth tires that grip the snowpack like studded, I think the tires are made from octopi,, not a race bike, I have a gravel/mile eating monster, shoud have changed to flat bars in 2017... miles of smiles... I have a Epic EVO it won't be on gravel, and the Sequoi won't be on trails although its done goot on trails, they each have their place.. I'll keep the Steel bike for awhile longer but that E5 EVO is cool.

Would really like to see a direct comparison between this bike and the Sirrus X5.0 since they are the same price and both have 1x11 drive trains.

[@albertmanzo9510]

Great breakdown on this bike.... Fast and light thanks!

[@fernando-io5mi]

Love that bike!! I have, as I have already mentioned a Marin Four Corners, love it but i miss the flat bars sensations... I am looking forward to seeing the Marin DSX review!!! Thanks for your videos! I am a huge Fan of them!!

[@JitinMisra]

if you are just riding on streets, what makes this bike special ?

[@frankjones282]

I know this isn't an ebike but the Diverge looks a hell of a lot like a slimmer version of my Vado SL 5.0. The Vado comes well specced with Specialized Pathfinder Sport, 700x38c tyres but I'm looking to replace these with two Rhombus Pro, 2Bliss Ready, 700x42mm tyres for off road winter riding. I know the Vado SL 5.0 is meant to be an expensive hybrid commuter/light off road bike but it runs a treat on gravel and more than light off road terrain, with the flat bars I prefer.

29"=700c - 27.5"=650b

[@bonvaicu]

Correct

[@imstillhereileft7530]

Thing of beauty, another out of the ball park review, keep em coming, this or the Sirius 4.0 x for Xmas

[@shezsimpson8270]

What you go with?

[@imstillhereileft7530]

@@shezsimpson8270 couldn’t find those bikes in my area , long wait , decided to get a Poseidon x flat bar & upgraded it , also got the canyon pathlite 6 , both for 1800 , they waved shipping fees

[@marcelobecerra5083]

Hermosa máquina, gracias🚲

[@ReinhardNO]

I am waiting for it :| - yeah, all these years I was missing my 94 Rocky Mountain Hammer MTB and it is back reincarnated with 29" rims and 1x11 SRAM - wow.

[@marcelobecerra5083]

Hermosa máquina. Quién dice que no será esa la tendencia de las futuras gravel? Aún está a nivel precio de una gama media, de lo contrario me la compro, sin dudar.

[@JackTheTool]

Mines coming tuesday i cant wait!!

[@Xrzysioo]

just received it - incredible bike!

[@SecondFoundation]

I love these videos so much - so nice to see what's out there and have some sort of explanation.

[@duckmanduckfairy8010]

Great channel and lots of info, but what’s the long term on this bike? I am trying one out now but feel the futureshock and cable route into are both really noisy and lots of rattles!

[@shyamfootprints972]

How in the world did this guy miss talking about the dropper post feature on this bike?

[@kristapsberzins6775]

1600 bucks and u get the cheepest tectro disk brakes :(

[@Serjenga]

What’s the difference between this and a sirrus x

[@lastpme]

Sergio Fortich I am thinking this one comes with wider and more aggressive tires.

[@Serjenga]

lastpme you should also be able to get wider tires on the sirrus X than stock. The overall geometry seems similar but is it worth the price jump

[@dundundata7603]

geometry, closer to modern mountain bikes. sirrus is a more upright position

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

ITs a weird bike, and I want it.

[@pault477]

But where can I get one. Got one for sale Rider?

[@danilocapellan1316]

Love It getting it. Thanks

[@bermandon]

Good urban bike?

[@markczechalien3592]

Do you have the expert in stock?

[@paulround4691]

It's a 1990 MTB, with bigger wheels!

[@Testo-Frede]

my bike size is 54 would a M fit me or should i take S? thx

[@zacqhuss]

How and where to order this bike?

[@tomherron4334]

Did they go with a quick release seat post clamp on this?

[@james007bray]

it's a dropper post

[@joselarrarte6964]

I am considering buying one of these to convert into a full (only) road bike. What are your thoughts?

[@vadusa]

I can buy it bike in your store

[@smallhatshatethetruth7933]

Just give me the frame!!!, I already have parts to put on

[@KS0013]

Tacky brakes

[@Msasha2727]

Lol we need gravel bikes for people who want mountain bikes with drop bars…. Now we need flat bar gravel bikes for people who want to blow 1600 and not buy a mountain bike.

[@markklein210]

He insists on inaccurately claiming it has an "A1" frame.

[@matof1428]

In my country, this bike sells for 2199 €. 😠
