| Style | This thing called gravel riding is still evolving, still being defined. What is next? Hop on the new Diverge Expert EVO and you tell us. It is designed to get aggressive, to push the boundaries of what we thought was possible on a gravel bike. With flat bars and geometry even more progressive then the new drop bar Diverge you better hang onto your flannel. We have significantly increased the reach, slackened the head tube and 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 are looking for a partner to take your gravel riding to new levels, nothings faster, more fun, or rowdier than the Diverge EVO. With a Premium E5 Aluminium frame and 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 bikes build is MTB inspired, with SRAM GX Eagle 1x12 shifting and extra stopping power thanks to SRAM Level TLM brakes. An TranzX dropper post is standard, as well as our latest gravel tire designed for incredible traction, the new Rhombus Pro 42mm, on DT Swiss G540 alloy wheels. Our Premium E5 Aluminium frame provides a stiff, light, and durable platform. When mated to our full carbon FACT fork, the Diverge EVO becomes a light, lively and versatile bike ready to tackle the most technical gravel and dirt as aggressively as you could wish. Speed, control and confidence - Future Shock 1.5 is ideal technology for the gravel rider. With 20mm of axial compliance, Future Shock 1.5 is 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, all while keeping your hands, arms and neck fresh. With the Diverge EVO, we took our new progressive gravel geometry to new levels. We have lengthened the frame 30mm over a drop bar Diverge (Size Medium), lowered the bottom bracket and 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 and quick at the bars. Nothing unlocks a bikes capability like tire clearance, so we gave the Diverge EVO a whopping 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1inch with a 650b wheel. Thanks to a drive side chain stay utilizing a machined alloy beam behind the chain rings we have created clearance without using a fragile dropped chain stay design or increasing chain stay length. |
