This bike redefines speed, capability, and fun, offering a dynamic and lively ride that remains stable and reassuring over challenging terrains.

Premium Build: E5 Alloy Frame with Future Shock 1.5

Equipped with the advanced Future Shock 1.5 and a novel gravel geometry, the Diverge Comp E5 is a testament to over 40 years of expertise in road, gravel, and dirt biking. Boasting leading-edge tire clearance, this bike is not just a means of transport; it's a catalyst for inventing new journeys, an ultimate escape vehicle for the avid rider.

The foundation of the Diverge Comp E5 lies in its premium E5 alloy frame paired with a full carbon FACT fork, ensuring a blend of stiffness, lightness, and durability. The addition of the Future Shock 1.5 escalates the ride quality to new heights, ensuring comfort and confidence on any surface, be it road, dirt, or gravel. The bike's drivetrain, powered by SRAM’s innovative 12-speed Apex group, guarantees smooth gear transitions across varying landscapes. Its Axis Elite alloy wheels, coupled with Pathfinder Pro 42mm tires, amplify its capability and adaptability.

Innovative Gravel Geometry for Enhanced Riding Dynamics

Innovation is at the heart of the Diverge E5's design. Rejecting conventional gravel geometry, it introduces a progressive design for drop bar bikes, balancing off-road capability with on-road agility. The alterations include an extended frame reach, a slacker head tube, and a longer offset fork, all contributing to a remarkably confident and planted ride in dirt while maintaining a responsive feel on the road. The bike's low bottom bracket height enhances stability but remains compatible with 650b wheels for those who prefer them.

Extended Tire Clearance and Rack Mounts for Ultimate Flexibility

Functionality extends beyond just ride quality. The Diverge E5 is equipped with numerous rack mounts, including on the fork and top tube, enabling riders to carry essentials for any journey length or destination. Tire clearance is paramount in unlocking a bike's potential, and the Diverge E5 doesn’t disappoint with a generous 47mm clearance for 700c wheels and 2.1” for 650b wheels. This clearance is achieved through an innovative drive side chain stay, which utilizes a machined alloy beam, avoiding the need for a fragile dropped chain stay design and preventing any increase in chain stay length.

Diverge Comp E5 isn't just a bike; it's a promise of adventure, freedom, and the ability to conquer any path you choose.
