BUILT | Specialized Diverge EVO with RED XPLR eTap AXS

Call it a flat bar gravel bike or call it a 90s MTB. Go ahead and call it a high-end hybrid. We just call it fun. The Diverge E5 EVO defies a single definition, as most gravel rides do nowadays. Our engineering technician Mars is no stranger to pushing boundaries on a bike, so they were a perfect match for this build.

With this Diverge, we show off a different kind of mullet setup: MTB controls paired with a drivetrain you’d normally associate with drop bars. Oh, and don’t forget the dropper post. Nothing about this bike is "normal", and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
