To escape to countryside trails, away from traffic and people, but also to go all out in your favorite gravel race, the Diverge is perfect. The fastest, most capable and fun gravel bike we've ever made. It is quick and agile under load, stable and safe if the terrain becomes challenging. It has the Future Shock 2.0 device, a new gravel geometry, and ample tire clearance. Everything we've learned about road and off-road has been used to create the Diverge, destined to write a new chapter in the gravel category.
The Diverge Expert Carbon has a FACT9r carbon fiber frame and features the Future Shock 2.0 device with hydraulic cartridge. It features the SRAM Rival eTap wireless 12-speed groupset, lightweight Roval Terra Carbon wheels, Specialized Pathfinder Pro tires and Roval Terra seatpost. Optimal performance on the road, on gravel and even on dirt.
- Thanks to the FACT 9r carbon fiber frame, the Diverge Carbon is a light and capable bike, ready to let you improve your KOMs, to grind towards the top on the uphill trails of the hills in your region.
- Speed, control and confidence - the Future Shock 2.0 device represents the best technology available to the gravel rider. With 20mm of travel and a hydraulic cartridge you will be able to maintain perfect control and avoid having to touch the brakes on rough trails or loose gravel. At the same time, your hands, arms and neck will not tire. The Future Shock 2.0 is adjustable, so it offers comfort on rough terrain and efficiency on asphalt.
- We decided to break with the classic gravel geometry. The new Diverge has the most progressive geometry ever created for a road bike, creating a bike that's capable and stable off-road, yet snappy and agile on the road. We increased the reach, introduced a slacker head tube and adopted a higher offset fork. A shorter stem keeps the length of the front stay contained for a lively ride. We have provided a low bottom bracket for greater stability, while maintaining the possibility of mounting 650b tires if you prefer them.
- The frame is prepared with rack mounts, including mounts on the fork and top tube, to facilitate transport for any long-haul journey.
- Nothing makes a bike more versatile than light to fit wide section tires. The new Diverge has 47mm of clearance if you use a 700c wheel and 2.1" with a 650b wheel. Thanks to a solid carbon insert behind the chainrings on the chainstay, drive side, we were able to create more clearance without increasing its length or use a low and fragile scabbard.
- To complete the picture, we 'borrowed' SWAT technology from the legendary Stumpjumper. Inside the down tube the SWAT Door allows you to use this space to store tools, puncture kit or even a light raincoat. Carrying these weights, even if they are small, not on the body but in the lower part of the bicycle improves handling, as well as ensuring that you always have what you need at hand.
