This thing called ‘gravel riding’ is still evolving still being defined. What’s next? Hop on the new Diverge Expert EVO & you tell us. It’s designed to get aggressive to push the boundaries of what we thought was possible on a gravel bike. With flat bars & geometry even more progressive then the new drop bar Diverge you better hang onto your flannel. We’ve significantly increased the reach slackened the head tube & lowered the bottom bracket to put you ‘in’ the bike for a super planted feeling. From sending technical single track to ripping flowing fire road descents if you’re looking for a partner to take your gravel riding to new levels nothing’s faster more fun or rowdier than the Diverge EVO. With a Premium E5 Aluminum frame & our latest Future Shock 2.0 with an adjustable hydraulic damper offering 20mm of travel the Diverge Expert E5 is uniquely qualified to tackle aggressive trails at high speed. The bike’s build is MTB inspired with Shimano XT 1x 12 & extra stopping power thanks to Magura MT4 brakes. An X-Fusion Manic dropper post is standard as well as our latest gravel tire designed for incredible traction the new Rhombus 42mm on DT Swiss G540 alloy wheels. Our Premium E5 Aluminum frame provides a stiff light & durable platform. When mated to our full carbon FACT fork the Diverge EVO becomes a light lively & versatile bike ready to tackle the most technical gravel & dirt as aggressively as you could wish. Speed control & confidence
- Future Shock 2.0 is the ultimate technology for the gravel rider. With 20mm of axial compliance & a hydraulic damper Future Shock 2.0 suspends the rider not the bike. This keeps you confident & in control able to keep the power down & stay off the brakes over rough dirt roads & in thick loose gravel all while keeping your hands arms & neck fresh. Since Future Shock 2.0’s damper is adjustable you’ll be ready for the rough stuff & efficient on smooth pavement. With the Diverge EVO we took our new progressive gravel geometry to new levels. We’ve lengthened the frame 30mm over a drop bar Diverge (Size Medium) lowered the bottom bracket & slackened the head tube. This gives the Diverge EVO more confidence over technical terrain while keeping the cockpit comfortable with flat bars. It also allows for a short stem to make all that stability feel nimble & quick at the bars. Nothing unlocks a bike’s capability like tire clearance so we gave the Diverge EVO a whopping 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel & 2.1” with a 650b wheel. Thanks to a drive side chain stay utilizing a machined alloy beam behind the chain rings we’ve created clearance without using a fragile dropped chain stay design or increasing chain stay length.

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 & 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 & foremost its fun & always down for a good time but with a progressively-tuned Future Shock our fast & stable Open Road Geometry & plenty of tire clearance it redefines the possibilities for adventure on a drop-bar bike. With a name like “ Diverge Expert” we figured that anyone interested in this bike will be well kind of an expert. We always aim to satisfy which is why we specd a no-compromise build that

Includes:: a SRAM Force 1 drivetrain & hydraulic disc brakes as well as a lightweight Praxis Zayante carbon crankset. Your posterior will be happy over even the bumpiest of terrain with our fan-favorite Power Expert saddle. Of course you’ll also be rolling on stupid-fast carbon fiber wheels & tires courtesy of a Roval C 38 Disc wheelset wrapped with 700x 38mm Pathfinder Pro tires. Clearance for either 700x 42mm or 650b x 47mm tires? Check. Three water bottle mounts mounts for racks & fenders & our Road SWAT™ kit. The Diverge not only has everything you need for pretty much any pedal-powered adventure—whether its gravel racing bikepacking or weekend shredding—and does so at a frame weight thats close to todays high-end road bikes. Sure you might be thinking more plaid flannel than Polka Dot Jersey but youll thank us on your next dirt climb. You can think of the Diverges geometry as a road version of a modern trail bike. It provides playful handling & predictable steering for endless dirt skids & 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 & made a shorter wheelbase. The result? A bike that performs equally well over both the dirt & road. Theres only so much that wider tires with lower pressures can absorb when it comes to bumps but this is where our Future Shock comes into play. It not only soaks up bumps with ease but it also adds the benefit of extremely predictable handling. Thats because the wheelbase isnt lengthening when you hit a bump so when you dive hard into a turn you wont be surprised by under-steer or sloppy handling. The Diverges version also gets a special treatment featuring a progressive spring that makes this technology more suitable for off-road applications where stiffer suspension is often needed to soak-up larger bumps & obstacles.

If you’re like us the last thing that you want is your bike holding you back from having the ride of your life. If you see rough roads or flowy singletrack we want you to ride it not think “ That looks fun but I cant do it on this bike.” Were tyred of our fun being restricted & thats why we developed the new Diverge Expert X1. Now you can get out there & not only explore new roads but entyrely new rides—we promise that the bike won’t be a limiting factor. The Diverge is more capable than ever. & with the constant goal to best meet your needs we took your number one request into account—tyre clearance. The new frame will comfortably fit up to 700x 42mm (or 650b x 47mm) tyres with plenty of room for mud too. Along with tyre clearance weight was a large factor in the development & taking some design cues from the development of the Roubaix we developed a FACT 9r carbon frame that’s one of the lightest in its category. Next up we moved away from a traditional ‘cross geometry instead opting for something that hasn’t been seen before—our Open Road Geometry. You can think of it as a road version of modern trail bike geometry. It provides playful handling & predictable steering for endless dirt skids & mid-corner drifts. The geo features a bottom bracket thats over a half-centimetre lower than the previous Diverge a slacked-out head tube angle short chainstays & a short wheelbase. These changes make for a bike thats not only fun in the dirt but also performs well on the road. & while riding gravel & dirt roads on a road bike may add to the adventure there’s only so much that wider tyres with lower pressures can absorb in terms of bumps. With this in mind we implemented a new version of our Future Shock into the Diverge design. It not only soaks up bumps with ease but also adds the benefit of extremely predictable handling. Thats because the wheelbase isn’t lengthening when you hit a bump so the front end of the Diverge keeps the same effective head tube angle. In other words when you dive hard into a turn you won’t be surprised by under-steer or sloppy handling. Unlike the original Future Shock (found on the Roubaix) the Diverges version features a progressive spring that makes this technology more suitable for off-road applications where stiffer suspension is often needed to soak-up larger bumps & obstacles. To add to its multifaceted talents we topped it off with three water bottle mounts mounts for racks & fenders & our Road SWAT™ kit that fits a tube CO2 CO2 head valve extender & money clip. So while it’s one of the most smile-inducing bikes you’ll ever ride it’s equally adept at commuting or even bikepacking. & for the spec we made a no-compromise build with a full SRAM Force 1 groupset with hydraulic disc brakes Roval C38 carbon wheels & fast-rolling 700x 38mm Sawtooth tyres. The FACT 9r carbon frame features our adventure-bound Open Road Geometry Future Shock Progressive suspension with 20mm of travel & front/rear thru-axles making it the ultimate tool for your next adventure. The lightweight FACT carbon fork is plenty stiff aiding in handling & a light overall weight. Yep thats right—carbon wheels on an Expert-level bike.

The new Diverge has the most progressive geometry we’ve ever created for a drop bar bike giving riders a capable & stable bike in the dirt that still feels responsive & nimble on the road. We’ve increased the frame’s reach introduced a slacker head tube & a longer offset fork. All this creates incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt while spec’ing shorter stems keeps the overall cockpit length the same & the steering lively. We’ve kept the bike’s BB low to increase stability but high enough to utilize with 650b wheels if that’s your jam. We’ve given the Diverge plenty of rack mounts including fork & top tube mounts to ensure you can take what you need no matter how far you plan to go or how long you plan to stay out. Nothing unlocks a bike’s capability like tire clearance so we gave the new Diverge a whopping 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel & 2.1” with a 650b wheel. Thanks to a drive side chain stay utilizing a solid beam of carbon behind the chain rings we’ve created clearance without using a fragile dropped chain stay design or increasing chain stay length. The more capable your bike the bigger your rides get so Diverge borrows SWAT internal storage from the legendary Stumpy. The SWAT door lets you utilize space in the down tube to store tools a flat kit nutrition & even our SWAT Jacket.
