Does anyone have any experience of using the Specialized Future Shocks?

I'm looking at the Diverge bike.

I have a future shock Diverge, it really is rather good. Excellent on and off road. Only drawback is that you'd get a lighter better spec'd bike from other brands for the same money. The Diverge is more at the road end of the gravel spectrum due to tyre clearances etc but having said that mines done summer cross races, road sportives, group road rides, off road bike packing, road touring, generally mixed terrain riding and Hell of North Cotswolds all with just tyre changes.

Great, I was after one of the models, but my LBS is out of stock, so they have offered me the Diverge E5 comp for a reduced price of £1,300.

So I just wanted to see if the Future Shock is worthwhile?

Mine will be used for mostly road, sportives and bikepacking.

I just need to make sure that I have enough clearance between the saddle rail and tyre for my Alpkit Koala.
