Offered for sale is my 2026 Specialized Diverge E5 bicycle. I bought this bike in January for 1,300.00 and have ridden it fewer than 200 miles but found my hip arthritis is causing me too much pain to continue riding. This bike is virtually new with no issues whatsoever. I have added an Ergon SF saddle, Kenda KWICK-TRAX 700X38 tires, and a handlebar with a slightly higher rise to make it a bit more comfortable. The frame size is 58.
These are the details found on a Specialized website:
“Whether your goal is to escape on gravel back roads, far from cars and crowds, toe the start line at your first gravel race, or simply get the most versatile bike on the road or dirt, no bike is better than the new Diverge. It's quite simply the fastest, most capable—and just maybe the most fun—alloy bike we've ever made, delivering a ride that's quick and lively, but stable and confidence-inspiring when the terrain gets rough. With all-new gravel geometry and category leading tire clearance, the new Diverge represents everything we've learned over more than 40 years of riding road, gravel and dirt. The Diverge writes an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category, so you can dream up entirely new rides. It's the ultimate getaway vehicle.”
With a premium E5 alloy frame and a full carbon FACT fork the Diverge E5 delivers a fast, confident and comfortable ride on road, in the dirt, and over thick gravel. Shimano's Claris 2x8 group gives a wide range of gears for any terrain, while Axis Elite alloy wheels and 38mm tires provide an efficient ride on pavement with the versatility for hard pack dirt riding.
- Nothing unlocks a bike's capability like tire clearance, so we gave the new Diverge a whopping 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel.Thanks to a drive side chain stay utilizing a machined alloy beam behind the chain rings we've created clearance without using a fragile dropped chain stay design or increasing chain stay length.
