While the fun may begin where the road ends you still need a bike that'll get you there one bike that shreds singletrack and crushes through road miles with equal expertise. Sure some have tried to make their 'cross bikes more "road-capable" (whatever that means) and others have made their road bikes more "adventure-ready" but we created one bike that makes no compromises between the two. The S-Works Diverge frameset redefines the possibilities for adventure on a drop-bar-bike and it's eager to be the foundation for your dream build.

The 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 (or 650b x 47mm) tires. Along with tire clearance weight was a large factor in the development and in taking some design cues from the Roubaix's development we created a sub 900-gram FACT 11r carbon frame thats one of the lightest in the category. Actually that's pretty damn light even if your intent was more Polka Dot Jersey than hunter's plaid flannel.

Next up we moved away from a traditional ˜cross geometry instead opting for something that hasnt been seen before our Open Road Geometry. 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-centimeter 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 one that also performs well on the road.

And while riding gravel and dirt roads on a road bike may add to the adventure theres only so much that wider tires with lower pressures can absorb when it comes to 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 it also adds the benefit of extremely predictable handling. That's because the wheelbase isnt lengthening when you hit a bump so the front-end of the Diverge keeps the same effective head tube angle. More simply: when you dive hard into a turn you wont be surprised by under-steer or sloppy handling. Unlike the original Future Shock (found on the Roubaix) the Diverge's 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.

To add to its multifaceted talents we topped it off with three water bottle mounts mounts for racks and fenders and our Road SWAT kit that can fit a tube CO2 CO2 head valve extender and money clip as well as our legendary CG-R FACT carbon seatpost. So while its one of the most smile-inducing bikes youll ever ride its equally adept at commuting or even bikepacking.
