It looks like a fun capable do all bike. Any opinions?

I have the Diverge Comp DSW. Hydro disc brakes with 105. Excellent all around bike.

Wait -

So why hasn't Specialized hasn't sued the Divergent book and movie series for using Diverge in part of the name?

I think the Diverge is a nice bike. But I think there are many more capable options.
Heck, in the Specialized lineup the Crux is actually a better bike.
The Crux has great geometry- rides like a road bike on the road. Super stable offload.
I like the fact that the Crux take larger tires than the Diverge.
The Santa Crux Stigmata is also worth considering- geometry is almost identical to a Crux- and it has all for the features that you would want. It already has 142mm thru axle rear, fully internal cables (even on the fork).

I looked at one. Ended up buying an AWOL. The wheel set was the deciding factor for me.
