Whether you aim to explore quiet gravel back roads away from traffic and crowds, take part in your first gravel race, or just want the most adaptable bike for both roads and dirt, the new Diverge E5 is your best choice. It's truly the fastest, most capable, and perhaps the most enjoyable alloy bike we've ever crafted. It offers a quick and lively ride that remains stable and confidence - building even on rough terrains. With brand - new gravel geometry and top - notch tire clearance, the Diverge E5 reflects all our knowledge from over 40 years of cycling on roads, gravel, and dirt. It's like opening a new chapter in the gravel bike world, letting you plan all sorts of new rides. It's the ultimate bike for getting away. The Diverge E5 comes with a high - quality E5 alloy frame and a full carbon FACT fork, ensuring a fast, confident, and comfortable ride on roads, dirt, and thick gravel. Shimano’s Claris 2x8 gear system provides a wide range of gears for any type of terrain. The Axis Elite alloy wheels and Pathfinder Sport 38mm tires offer an efficient ride on pavements and also work well on hard - packed dirt.
Using the Diverge E5 is a breeze. For road riding, the bike's efficient design will get you moving quickly. When you hit the dirt or gravel, the wide - range gears from Shimano’s Claris 2x8 group let you easily adjust to different slopes. To get the most out of your rides, make sure the tires are properly inflated according to the terrain. For road use, a higher pressure will give you a faster ride, while a slightly lower pressure on dirt or gravel will improve traction. As for maintenance, regularly clean the bike after each ride, especially if you've been on dirty or gravelly paths. Check the brakes and gears often to make sure they're working smoothly. Lubricate the chain every few rides to keep it in good condition. Store the bike in a dry place to prevent rusting on the alloy frame. And always wear appropriate safety gear like a helmet when you ride.
