Diverge Sport Carbon - SRAM Apex

Whether your goal is to escape on gravel back roads, far from cars and crowds, or drop the hammer at the front of your favorite gravel race, the Diverge is the fastest, most capable, and most fun bike for the job. It delivers a ride that's quick and lively under power, but stable and confidence-inspiring when the terrain gets rough. From Future Shock 1.5 and all-new gravel geometry to category-leading tire clearance, the new Diverge represents everything learned over more than 40 years of riding road, gravel, and dirt. The Diverge Sport Carbon has been developed thanks to over four decades of experience. It features a FACT 8r carbon frame paired with Future Shock 1.5 suspension for a fast, confident, and comfortable ride on road, in the dirt, and over thick gravel. With SRAM Apex 1 1x11 shifting and DT Swiss G540 wheels, the Diverge Sport is as capable as it is versatile. Future Shock 1.5 provides 20mm of axial compliance, progressively tuned specifically for gravel riding. This keeps you confident and in control, able to keep the power down and stay off the brakes over rough dirt roads and in thick loose gravel, while keeping your hands, arms, and neck fresh. The new Diverge features the most progressive geometry ever created for a drop bar bike, giving riders a capable and stable bike in the dirt that still feels responsive and nimble on the road. The frame has increased reach, a slacker head tube, and a longer offset fork, creating incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt. Shorter stems keep the overall cockpit length the same while maintaining lively steering. The low bottom bracket increases stability while remaining high enough to utilize 650b wheels if desired. The Diverge comes equipped with plenty of rack mounts, including fork and top tube mounts, to ensure you can take what you need no matter how far you plan to go. The bike offers 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1" with a 650b wheel, thanks to a drive side chain stay utilizing a solid beam of carbon behind the chainrings.
