Diverge Base Carbon

Future Shock 1.5 is a cartridge located in the headtube that provides 20mm of vertical travel. It suspends the rider rather than the bike, which helps dampen road buzz and impacts on rough terrain without sacrificing the efficiency of a rigid frame.

Yes, the frame is designed with generous clearance. You can run tires up to 47mm wide on 700c wheels or up to 2.1 inches on 650b wheels, giving you plenty of options for different gravel conditions.

Absolutely. The frame includes multiple mounting points for racks, fenders, and accessories, making it a versatile platform for both daily commuting and multi-day bikepacking trips.

The progressive geometry is designed to be stable and confident on loose, technical descents while remaining responsive and agile on climbs. It strikes a balance that makes the bike feel planted when you're going fast but easy to maneuver in tight sections.

The 1x11 setup is generally low-maintenance because it eliminates the front derailleur, reducing the chance of chain drops and mechanical issues. You will primarily need to keep the chain clean and lubricated, and occasionally index the rear derailleur as the cable stretches over time.

The FACT 8r carbon construction is engineered to be lightweight and efficient for power transfer, but it is tuned to be compliant enough for long-distance comfort. It provides a snappy, responsive feel when you accelerate without being overly harsh on rough surfaces.
