Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads This Instagram photo shows the new Specialized Diverge being tested at Unbound. Are those new SRAM shifters too? Possibly Force 13? The second photo shows they don't look like the current Red 13. by 2xmeat Bicycling Biking Cycling Gravel Cycling Gravelcycling

w1n5t0nM1k3y on May 28, 2025 7:32 pm If they are electronic why do they even need new levers? Why not just update them to support one extra sprocket in software?
Curun on May 28, 2025 7:56 pm ….its electric and wireless. what about the shifters mean gear number? gear number will be in deraileurs and the geometry and precision of solenoid
Playful-Switch-7299 on May 28, 2025 8:22 pm You spotted the “new” levers but didnt notice the new frameset running wider that 45c tyres……?
double___a on May 28, 2025 8:41 pm I doubt you’d have Lidl-Trek custom tuning a pile of 13sp r.der for road cassettes at the classics if this was near production.

What’s better than 12-speed? 13-speed!
Yes.
