✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 3 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . Caveat: Size 56 geometry row. This is the current UK replacement for the Diverge E5 base build, on the same Diverge E5 Premium Aluminium frame; the old Diverge E5 pages are out of stock and off the category list. Clearance is Specialized's stated 47mm with 700c wheels. Mudguard mounts are confirmed on Specialized's own support site rather than this product page. Specialized prints no model year on this page; 2026 reflects the current UK line-up as listed.
