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, no bike does it better than the new Diverge.

Its just maybe the most fun bike weve ever made, delivering a ride thats quick and lively under power but stable and confidence-inspiring when the terrain gets rough. From Future Shock 2.0 and gravel geometry to internal storage and category-leading tire clearance, the Diverge represents everything weve learned over more than 40 years of riding road, gravel, and dirt. The Diverge writes an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category, so you can dream up entirely new rides. Its the ultimate getaway vehicle.

The Diverge Expert is built with the perfect mix of SRAMs Rival, GX, and NX components for fast, efficient shifting with an 11-50 cassette to ensure you have the gearing to tackle any ride. The bike rolls on the Roval Terra C wheels with 42mm Pathfinder Pro tires. Adventure Gear alloy handlebars, a Roval Terra carbon seatpost, and a Power Expert saddle complete.

• 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, and even our SWAT Jacket. It keeps weight off your body and low in the bike for better handling and makes you more self-sufficient, so get out there. SWATs got your back.

• We tossed gravel geometry status quo out the window. The new Diverge has the most progressive geometry weve 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. Weve increased the frames reach, introduced a slacker head tube and a longer offset fork. All this creates incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt while specing shorter stems keeps the overall cockpit length the same and the steering lively. Weve kept the bikes BB low to increase stability but high enough to utilize with 650b wheels if thats your jam.

• Speed, control, and confidence – Future Shock 2.0 is the ultimate technology for the gravel rider. With 20mm of axial compliance and a hydraulic damper, Future Shock 2.0 suspends the rider, not the bike. 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. Since Future Shock 2.0s damper is adjustable, youll be ready for the rough stuff and efficient on smooth pavement.

• Weve given the Diverge 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 or how long you plan to stay out.

• Nothing unlocks a bikes capability like tire clearance, so we gave the new Diverge a whopping 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, weve created clearance without using a fragile dropped chain stay design or increasing chain stay length.

• With a FACT 9r carbon frame, the Diverge Expert frame is incredibly capable and race bike light. Pin it for your local dirt climb KOM, or grind up a giant backcountry peak, the light and lively Diverge will get you there faster.
