STR
For more information on the intended use and structural weight limits for the
frame and components, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
4.1. INTENDED USE
GENERAL
PURPOSE RIDING
Bicycles designed for riding Condition 1, plus smooth gravel roads and improved
trails with moderate grades where the tires do not lose ground contact. These
bicycles are intended for paved roads, gravel or dirt roads that are in good
condition, and bicycle paths.
These bicycles are NOT intended for off-road or mountain bicycle use, or for any
kind of jumping. Some of these bicycles have suspension features, but these
features are designed to add comfort, not off-road capability. Some come with
relatively wide tires that are well suited to gravel or dirt paths. Some come with
relatively narrow tires that are best suited to faster riding on pavement. If you
ride on gravel or dirt paths, carry heavier loads or want more tire durability talk to
your Authorized Specialized Retailer about wider tires.

CARGO WEIGHT LIMIT: The maximum cargo weight a bicycle has been designed and tested
to support structurally.
STRUCTURAL WEIGHT LIMIT: The maximum total weight (rider and cargo) a bicycle is
designed and tested to support structurally.
WARNING! The specified cargo weight limit applies only to cargo carried
through the use of compatible front racks and seat bags. If the cargo weight
limit of the bicycle differs from the cargo weight limit set by the rack or
seat bag manufacturer, always use the lowest limit. If you add any other
load-bearing accessories, including, but not limited to, baskets and child
carriers, you do so at your own risk in that these accessories have not been
tested for compatibility, reliability, or safety on your bicycle. Failure to follow
this warning may result in serious personal injury or death.
CAUTION: Top tube accessory bags that strap around the steerer tube below
the stem are not compatible with a Future Shock damper, which is equipped
on all Diverge STR models. Use of a strap around the boot of the Future
Shock damper may damage the boot (S209900002), which will impair the
waterproofness of the Future Shock.
