What is this?

Checking out pinkbike and they ask a question I’ve had on my mind: what is this bike? Hybrid? 90’s mtn bike? comfort cruiser??? Have we come full circle? I’d ride it in the tech.

Specialized Diverge EVO: Gravel Shredder, High-End Hybrid, or Just a Rigid Mountain Bike? - Pinkbike

Does a flat-bar gravel bike appeal to you, or is this just a mountain bike with not enough tire clearance?

It's a flat bar gravel bike. I'd say its pretty much a diet mountain bike thats lighter and doesn't have suspension for people who want to ride exclusively gravel roads and mellow single track. Or maybe for an mtber who's used to flat bars who wants to get into gravel. It is very open to interpretation.

So a higher end hybrid?

Well its far more of a gravel bike, I typically think of hybrids as heavy lumbering bikes, where as this is a light and svelte flat bar bike.

Bar ends are making a comeback!

Looks like a bunch of parts, assembled together, hoping someone might invent a need for it.

Looks like a fun, wheelie machine to me.
