For escaping on countryside trails, away from traffic and people, but also for going all out in your favorite gravel race, the Diverge is perfect. The fastest, most capable and most fun gravel bike they've ever made. It is snappy and agile under load, stable and safe if the terrain becomes challenging. It has Future Shock 1.5, gravel geometry, and ample tire clearance. Everything they learned about road and off-road was used to create the Diverge, destined to write a new chapter in the gravel category.
The Diverge Comp has an E5 Premium alloy frame, a full carbon fiber FACT fork and the Future Shock 1.5 device. Everything you need to ride fast, confidently and comfortably on road, gravel and off-road. With SRAM Apex 1 gravel gearing, Axis Elite alloy wheels with Specialized Pathfinder Sport 38mm tires the Diverge E5 Comp is extremely capable and versatile.
Characteristics
- The Diverge Comp's E5 Premium Alloy frame is light, stiff and strong. Thanks to the FACT full carbon fiber fork, this Diverge is light, lively and versatile.
- Speed, control and confidence - the Future Shock 1.5 is perfect for the gravel rider. With 20mm of travel and a progressive setting you'll 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 get tired.
- Most progressive geometry ever created for a road cornering bike, creating a bike that is capable and stable off-road, yet snappy and nimble on the road. Increased reach, introduced a more slack head tube and adopted a higher offset fork. A shorter stem keeps front end length small for a lively ride. Low bottom bracket for greater stability, while retaining the ability to fit 650b tires if you prefer them.
- The frame comes ready with rack mounts, including fork and top tube mounts, to make it easy to carry on any long-haul ride.
- Nothing makes a bike more versatile than light to fit wide section tyres. The new Diverge has 47mm of clearance if you're using a 700c wheel and 2.1" with a 650b wheel. Using a solid carbon insert behind the chainrings on the drive-side chainstay, they've managed to create more clearance without increasing the length. or use a low-profile, flimsy chainstay.
