Notably; the Diverge STR Expert; built on the FACT 11r carbon frameset; features front and rear Future Shock suspension; paired with SRAM’s Rival eTap AXS Eagle groupset for efficient shifting and a wide gear range. The Future Shock system employs damped; tunable travel of 20mm at the front and 30mm at the rear; absorbing bump forces to enhance control and capability without sacrificing the efficiency and responsiveness characteristic of a rigid frame. The bike responds promptly to pedal power; maintaining efficiency and delivering a nimble and responsive ride. Future Shock Rear; with its 30mm of rear travel; strategically smooths rough roads; preventing “bobbing” under power through hydraulic damping control. This ensures a comfortable ride without compromising the bike’s fit or pedaling efficiency. Born from decades of innovation and adhering to the Smoother is Faster philosophy; Future Shock technology was initially crafted for cobblestone victories but found its purest expression on gravel. With 20mm of adjustable; damped front travel; it not only keeps riders in control but also protects hands; arms; and shoulders from the impact of uneven surfaces. Tire clearance is equally generous; boasting 47mm on a 700c wheel and 2.1” on 650B; providing unparalleled capability and confidence for an incredibly enjoyable gravel biking experience. In essence; the Diverge STR stands as the epitome of a gravel bike – dynamic; versatile; and; above all; fun.
