I really wanted to dislike SWAT when I first used it on a 6Fattie but it was just awesome. Found myself thinking it would be perfect for a gravel bike, and finally they've got round to it.

Looks tidy https://road.cc/content/tech-news/first-ride-review-specialized-diverge-pro-carbon-273251

(Still not 100% sold on FutureShock though)

Well I've had the first gen one for almost 2 1/2 years now, it just sits there working and I dont think about it never sure if thats good or bad but on bumpy roads and trails its noticeably more comfortable. Not sure I'd bother to adjust it even if I could like the new ones. Mine came with a soft and a harder spring, I have just kept the middle one in.

^£6k!!!!!!

Surely gravel is about exploring/meandering/taking the long way home - why does that need a £6k bike?

I expect there's a more expensive one too!
Mine was £1500.
