I bought a Specialized Diverge E5 and have been enjoying riding it for the last 6 months.
It has a Future Shock 1.5 and I finally got around to checking which of the three available springs it has. Turns out it is the previously unknown 'Rhubarb n Custard' spring which I am assuming is the yellow i.e. 40lb spring which Spesh recommends for smoothest terrain.
Blue Soft for roughest terrain 13lb
Black Medium for mixed terrain 25lb
Yellow Firm for smoothest terrain 40lb
Having come from an MTB background where most modern shocks are buttery smooth the Future Shock feels a bit clunky but I am prepared to put up with it.
Any thoughts on how it performs, upgrades, downsides, failures and the like?
