While the real fun starts where the road ends you still need a bike thatll get you there—one bike that shreds flowy singletrack gravel and traditional roads with equal authority. A more capable road bike won’t cut it nor will a more road-worthy cross bike for that matter. No you need a dedicated gravel bike like the Diverge. First and foremost its fun and always down for a good time but with our fast and stable Open Road Geometry and plenty of tire clearance it redefines the possibilities for adventure on a drop-bar bike.
We wanted to ensure that your new Diverge E5 rides comfortably shifts crisply and brakes smoothly for years to come so youll find a Shimano Claris 8-speed groupset hassle-free mechanical disc brakes our fan-favorite Power Sport Saddle and a durable Axis Sport Disc wheelset thats been cased in our fast-rolling 35mm Roadsport tires with built-in flat protection.
- The Diverge has everything you need for pretty much any pedal-powered adventure—whether its gravel racing bikepacking or weekend shredding. Our Premium E5 Aluminum frameset features our comfortable and confident Open Road Geometry making it the ultimate tool for your next ride.
- You can think of the Diverges geometry as a road version of a modern trail bike. It provides playful handling and predictable steering for endless dirt skids and mid-corner drifts but keeps stiffness up to snuff for your inner-racer. Along with a bottom bracket thats over a half-centimeter lower than the previous Diverge we also slacked-out the head tube angle shortened the chainstays and made a shorter wheelbase. The result? A bike that performs equally well over both the dirt and road.
- The full FACT carbon fiber fork keeps overall weight low and takes the sting out of road imperfections with ease.
