George, Ash and Stan from BikeRadar dissect a bumper week for road and gravel tech, covering the launch of the new Specialized Diverge STR and Bianchi Oltre RC, as well as the return of the Bespoked show.

As Specialized’s first take on a full-suspension gravel bike, the Diverge STR introduces Future Shock Rear, a tendon-like system with 30mm of travel.

The Oltre RC, meanwhile, is Bianchi’s next-generation aero road bike, complete with F1-inspired Air Deflector wings on the head tube.

The trio also reflect on the 2022 edition of Bespoked, the UK’s leading handmade bicycle show. What weird and wonderful machines did we find in London?
