2018 MEN'S DIVERGE E5

Tive a sorte de achar esse modelo para compra, agora, no ano de 2024. A bike atende perfeitamente as exigencias para rodar no dificil relevo e superfície de Belo Horioznte.

I'm happy i got this bike. It's an eye candy but i must say.. it's a bit heavy but of course this is the entry level model and the claris groupset was making some weird noises so i replaced it with my good old tiagra and it's a lot better now. So far my commutes to work are very smooth, can't wait to try it on a gravel road to really feel it's function.

My wife surprised me with it for an anniversary gift about three weeks ago, and ive been riding it every day ever since for an average of 7-10 miles during the week and 15 mile trips on saturdays and sundays! the bike shifts smooth and efficiently. its easy to carry when cyclocross training and car topping. Love this bike enough said!!!!

I bought this bike as my first foray into commuting to work over undulating terrain. Since the day I bought it, the gears lock up repeatedly despite three visits to the mechanics. Buying mudguards/fenders/pannier attachments are equally difficult as apparently, you need a special seatpost mount which wasn't supplied with my purchase. Aesthetically, it is a beauty. Stands out from the crowd and well-built. Practically, not reliable and I'd look elsewhere for a sub-£1000 bike.

I've been testing several different models before settling on the Diverge. I tried the Jamis Renegade, Trek Crossrip, and the Diverge. I am not knocking any of the other bikes, but for me the Diverge just felt so much better and handled great compared to the other models. I did more than the simple parking lot test too, I rented the demo version of the above bikes and did about 8 miles to come to this conclusion. All I can say is the Diverge's geometry is spot on and you can tell the effort that went into designing the bike. I have two lower disc issues in my back as well as a cervical neck fusion which has always been a concern when riding. With the Diverge, I am left feeling great when I get off the bike. That is a huge deal for me! I can't say enough good about the bike and would recommend it to anyone, hands down. I use it on the road, packed gravel, and looser gravel/dirt trails and haven't found anything it doesn't do well in. My only recommendation is to make sure you go ahead and swap out the tires for something with a little more tread and wider if you don't want it to be squirrelly on looser ground when you're riding. That, and make sure to get a properly fitted saddle. If you do that you can't go wrong and you'll be loving the bike for years.
