The Diverge Comp has been designed from the bottom-up to be a fully-fledged exploration machine. But now its also equally adept at crushing dirt climbs as it is to cruising to the coffee shop or hopping into a local group ride. And while it might sound cliché in a landscape of bike claims chocked full with hyperbole the Diverge Comp truly is one bike that does it all.
With a completely redesigned frame the new Diverge is more capable than ever. And with the constant goal to best meet your needs we took your number one request into account—tire clearance. The new frame will comfortably fit up to 700x42mm tires with plenty of room for mud too. Along with tire clearance weight was a large factor in the development and taking some design cues from the development of the Roubaix we developed a FACT 9r carbon frame that’s one of the lightest in the category.
Next up we moved away from a traditional ‘cross geometry instead opting for something that hasn’t been seen before—Open Road Geometry. We know what you’re thinking “it’s just another marketing term” but for the Diverge we truly did develop an entirely new geometry. With a touch less hyperbole you can think of it as a road version of modern trail bike geometry. It provides playful handling and predictable steering for endless dirt skids and 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 and a short wheelbase. These changes make for a bike thats not only fun in the dirt but also performs well on the road.
And while riding gravel and dirt roads on a road bike may add to the adventure there’s only so much that wider tires 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 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 and obstacles.
Adding to its multifaceted talents we topped it off with three water bottle mounts plus mounts for racks and fenders. So while it’s one of the most smile-inducing bikes you’ll ever shred fire roads on it’s equally adept at bike packing commuting or even a spin to your local brewery.
The Diverge Comp is spec’d to keep you shifting crisply and braking smoothly mile after mile with a Shimano 105 groupset Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and an tough Axis Elite wheelset.
The FACT 9r carbon frame features our adventure-bound Open Road Geometry Future Shock suspension with 20mm of travel and front/rear thru-axles making it the ultimate tool for your next adventure.
The lightweight FACT carbon fork is plenty stiff aiding in handling rigidity and an overall light weight.
The fast-rolling 2Bliss Ready Trigger Pro tires are perfect for adventure. The fast-rolling centre keeps resistance low on the road while the shoulder knobs dig into corners in the dirt. And with this 2Bliss Ready design youre able to run lower pressures for more grip & traction while all but eliminating the risk of pinch flats.
