![]() Now, the Morgan Hill-based company has decided to go one step further and extend Future Shock absorption to the rear of the bike in the new generation of its Diverge, which adopts the name SRT, in order to make our gravel rides even more comfortable, which always results in less accumulated fatigue and, therefore, in the ability to go further or tackle more difficult terrain. Over the years, Specialized has evolved the Future Shock concept to achieve better performance, either by calming the system with a hydraulic crank that can be adjusted from the stem or by calibrating it in such a way as to avoid the sensation of pumping when standing on the pedals. A concept that would soon be exported to the Diverge, the model created for the then incipient gravel discipline. Thanks to a damping mechanism located under the stem, it effectively filtered out the unevenness of the terrain without compromising the direct sensations needed on a road bike. They developed this concept by creating the Future Shock suspension system for their Roubaix model, the road machine to fight on the cobblestones of the eponymous classic. More than 8 years ago, it became clear to Specialized that the way to improve the comfort and performance of its gran fondo bike was to suspend the rider and not the bike. ![]() Specialized renews its gravel bike by extending its Future Shock damping technology also to the rear wheel in order to expand the possibilities of its Diverge, transforming it into the most adventurous bike of the American brand.Ĭomfort and performance come together in the new Specialized Diverge SRT
