MEN'S DIVERGE E5

The Diverge E5 is equipped with everything you need to head to work take the long way home and hit some fire roads on the weekend.

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 an E5 Premium Aluminium frame that’s plenty light certainly stiff for hard efforts and undeniable durable.

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 that's 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 that's not only fun in the dirt but also performs well on the road.

To add to its multifaceted talents we topped this Diverge off with three water bottle mounts plus mounts for racks and fenders so it’s equally adept at long trips as it is to short rides to the local brewery. The Diverge E5 Elite frame is topped off with Shimano Claris shifting hassle-free mechanical disc brakes and ultra-strong Axis Sport Disc wheels that are cased in fast-rolling Espoir Sport tires.
