Today Specialized announced a new Diverge and Allez.
The Diverge takes a new approach to the road, gravel, and adventure genre with the implementation of Future Shock technology and dropper seat post compatibility with the added practicality of a SWAT box.
The Allez’s alloy frame has taken more inspiration from the Tarmac design and in the process shaved some significant weight.
