Get started with gravel with the Specialized Diverge E5. It’s the perfect tool for ambitious bikepacking adventures or afternoon off-road excursions, but won’t cost you the earth.
The E5 aluminium frame is ideal for all things off-road: lightweight, sturdy and comfortable – what more could you ask for? Mounting points throughout make way for extra luggage, bottles and storage should you need it, plus mudguards for extra protection on wetter days. Generous tyre clearance allows up to 700x47mm or 650x2.1” tyres to keep things comfortable on rough ground and offer more traction on loose terrain.
2x8-speed gearing from Shimano is super reliable, requiring very little upkeep to retain its smooth shifting. Mechanical disc brakes from Tektro complete the build, offering plenty of stopping power in all weather conditions with simple maintenance.
