What is the Industry's Response to Roubaix and Diverge?
Trek has isospeed front and rear, but none of the other major road manufacturers have a viable competitor for Specialized's Roubaix/Diverge.
Cannondale has the Slate but this is a niche design for gravel. The Roubaix's marketing is aimed squarely at the mainstream road bike market. They've expanded use of FS and their CG-R seatpost to the Diverge as well. There are at least a dozen models with either FS or CGR or both, as standard spec.
Giant, nor any other major road bike manufacturer has since introduced suspension componentry for road or gravel bikes. Pinarello and Calfee have introduced rear sus designs with differing and likely effective design philosophies but these are one off, $10K+ bikes not intended for mass market sales.
With the sudden proliferation of gravel and 'cross bikes, it's very surprising that there aren't more manufacturers throwing their hat in the suspension ring.
Who is going to challenge Specialized going forward?
