✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 4 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . Caveat: Single 40t chainring with a 13-speed 10-46 Rival XPLR cassette. Size 56 geometry row. Clearance is Specialized's stated 50mm for the Diverge 4 frame; the user manual notes 45c is the maximum with mudguards fitted. Specialized's Diverge 4 user manual, linked from this page, lists 'Fender Front: Yes, Rear: Yes', so mudguard mounts are recorded as present; for racks it lists only a front low-rider or cage-style rack and a seatpost-clamp rear rack rather than frame rack eyelets, so rack mounts are recorded as absent. Specialized prints no model year on this page; 2026 reflects the current UK line-up as listed.
