Specialized Diverge Sport Carbon

£2,475.00
Was £3,000.00

Whether your goal is to escape on gravel back roads far from cars and crowds or drop the hammer at the front of your favorite gravel race no bike does it better than the new Diverge. It's quite simply the fastest most capable - and just maybe the most fun - bike we've ever made delivering a ride that's quick and lively under power but stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough. From Future Shock 1.5 and all-new gravel geometry to category leading tire clearance the new Diverge represents everything we've learned over more than 40 years of riding road gravel and dirt. The Diverge writes an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category so you can dream up entirely new rides. It's the ultimate getaway vehicle

Gravel riding may be a ˜new' sport but our Diverge Sport Carbon has been developed thanks to over four decades of experience. It's got our Future Shock 1.5 and a FACT 8r carbon frame for a fast confident and comfortable ride on road in the dirt and over thick gravel. With gravel-inspired SRAM Apex 1 1x11 shifting and DT Swiss G540 wheels the Diverge Sport's as capable as it is versatile. With Kanza winning Pathfinder Pro 38mm tires the same rubber we spec on the S-Works Diverge you're ready to ride as fast and as far as you want.

Will you credit score me and if so, what does this mean?

Credit scoring is the process used by financial services companies to evaluate the credit risk of new applicants. This technique will be applied to your application for online finance. Credit scoring works by awarding points for each answer given on the application form such as age, income and occupation, together with information obtained from credit reference agencies.
This information allows consistent decisions to be provided, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly. Credit scoring does not discriminate on the grounds of sex, race, religion or disability.

If you decline my application, what is the reason?

In addition to credit scoring, Novuna also takes into account confirmation of your identity, validation of certain application details, existing commitments, and information held at the credit reference agencies. Though Novuna is unable to provide you with the main reason for declining your application, it is usually based on one, or a combination of the following:
• Your credit score (please note that every finance company will score you differently)
• Adverse credit reference agency information
• You are considered to be overcommitted
• You are aged under 18
• Your existing account performance with other lenders

What type of information do credit reference agencies hold about me?

Some of the information is public information, for example, electoral roll, County Court Judgments, and bankruptcies. Other lenders may also file information about accounts you hold with them for instance this could include your payment history and outstanding balance on these accounts. Any requests for credit, where a credit reference search has been undertaken, will also be filed, although the result of the request is not recorded.

How do I obtain a copy of this information?

Send a request to the relevant credit reference agency, together with details of all addresses at which you have lived over the last 6 years:
• Experian Limited, Customer Support Centre, PO Box 9000, Nottingham, NG80 7WF
• Equifax Ltd., Customer Service Centre, PO Box 10036, Leicester, LE3 4FS
• TransUnion International UK Limited, Consumer Services, PO Box 491, Leeds, LS3 1WZ
The above-listed agencies will provide details of information relating to these addresses. If you believe that the information is incorrect, you can ask the agency to correct it.

If my application is not successful, can I re-apply?

Yes. We acknowledge that circumstances change and just because a previous application has been refused, it does not mean that a further request will automatically be turned down. We do suggest, however, that you leave at least 6 months between applications.


What is the Cycle to Work Initiative?

The Cycle to Work Initiative is a Government back scheme to provide tax-free bikes. It’s a brilliant programme where everyone wins – employees make big savings on new bikes, employers get a healthier workforce and save money too! You can even get an electric bike on the scheme to make your commute easier.

There are numerous providers of the government-backed cycle to work initiative (Cyclescheme, Cycle Solutions, Green Commute Initiative, Halfords, etc) and Bike Shed is generally able to accept vouchers from any of them. Please get in touch for confirmation.


How it Works

The cycle to work scheme is a government initiative which allows employees to hire bicycles tax-free from their employers using salary sacrifice. As the payments into the scheme are made before tax and national insurance are calculated this leads to potential savings of up to 42%

In essence your employer buys the bike and accessories for you to ride to work and you ‘hire’ it from them. The ‘hire’ period is usually 12 or 18 months with monthly payments taken directly from your payslip before tax deductions.

As you don’t pay income tax or national insurance on the scheme payments you will save between 32% and 42% (depending on your tax band) on the overall cost of your new bike and accessories. Although your employer owns the bike, effectively it’s yours to use as you wish throughout the ‘hire’ period.


How much can you save buying a bike through Cycle to Work schemes?

You can save between 32% and 42% on a new bike with the cycle to work scheme. The exact amount you can save is determined by your tax band, which is determined by your annual salary.

Here is an example: ( At the time of writing ) If you want to buy a bike for £2500 and earn under £50,000 you would pay £1700, whereas if you earn over £53,000 a year you would only pay £1450.

Enter your details to see how much you could save.


How to apply

1. Check that your employer is registered with a cycle to work scheme and make a note of the scheme name and your 'employer code'.

2. Then either come into one of our stores, visit our website or contact us to ask us for a quotation and choose what bike and/or accessories you want to buy.

3. Once you have made your choice contact us to reserve your items and provide all the information you need to make your claim. This will avoid you being disappointed if the goods you wanted sell out why you are making your claim.

4. Next visit the website for your employers chosen cycle scheme, create an account and make your claim. You will need your employer code to complete this.

5. Once your employer has approved your application, you will receive your letter of collection.

6. Finally you bring this to us and redeem your bike and accessories. The process usually takes between 1-2 weeks.

Cyclescheme is available for mail order, however, a delivery charge of £59 will apply for bikes under £750. This charge can be included in your quotation, assuming it remains below the limit, otherwise, it must be paid for prior delivery.

For any questions regarding Cyclescheme please contact us

Please Note: Cycle to work schemes may not be available on bikes that are on Sale or on Promotion unless specifically stated.

We accept all cycle to work schemes such as Cyclescheme and Cycle 2 Work, Bike to Work.

What happens at the end of the 'hire' period?

You have a choice, you can return the bike, you can take ownership of the bike and pay a fee based on 'fair market value' or you can extend your hire agreement to 36 months for a single small refundable deposit.

If you decicde to take ownership of the bike, then HMRC has set fair market values that employers must pay to keep the bike. So, you may be asked to pay up to 25% of the value of a bike costing more than £500 after 12 months.

* Please note: there is no guarantee that your employer will transfer ownership to you at the end of the hire period. Usually employers are happy to do this, but you should check with your HR department to be sure.

If you decide to extend your hire you will be asked for a refundable deposit of between 3-7%. During your extended hire agreement, you will make no further monthly payments. At the end of the 36 months you can either choose to send your bike back to your Cycle to Work provider (and your deposit will be refunded) or you take ownership of the bike. No further payments are needed.
