This week’s Bike of the Week pick is what we’d confidently call the ultimate do-it-all bike for riding on the Isle of Man – the Specialized Diverge 3 Alloy.

If you’re new to gravel bikes, they’re designed to blur the lines between road and off-road riding. Think drop handlebars and efficient road-bike speed, combined with the comfort, stability and control needed for rough roads, lanes, dirt tracks and everything in between. In short, one bike that can handle whatever the ride throws at it.

Why the Specialized Diverge 3 Alloy?

The Diverge has built a reputation for versatility, and the Alloy version delivers that in a tough, accessible package:

  • Premium aluminium frame – lightweight, durable and ready for everyday riding or big adventures.
  • Loads of rack and accessory mounts – ideal for commuting, bikepacking or multi-day exploring.
  • Huge tyre clearance (up to 47mm) – run fast-rolling gravel tyres or go wide with chunky off-road rubber for extra confidence on rough terrain.

Whether you’re linking back roads, tackling gravel tracks, or just want one bike that does a bit of everything, the Diverge 3 Alloy fits the bill perfectly.

Easy ways to get riding

The best part? You can secure the bike with a £99 deposit and pay the balance through the Cycle to Work Scheme, making it an even easier way to get into gravel riding.
