Key Benefits for Riders

FACT 9r Carbon Frame With SWAT 4.0 Storage

The FACT 9r carbon frame is tuned for gravel racing, offering a lively, efficient feel on smooth terrain while staying composed and confident when surfaces deteriorate. Integrated SWAT 4.0 internal storage lets you carry tools, tubes, and nutrition inside the downtube, keeping weight centered and eliminating the need for bulky external bags during races or long adventure rides.

Future Shock 3.2 for Speed, Control, and Reduced Fatigue

Future Shock 3.2 provides tunable, stiction-free front-end compliance that absorbs sharp impacts and washboard chatter before they reach your hands. By stabilizing the rider instead of flexing the fork, it maintains steering precision and momentum, allowing you to stay fast, focused, and fresher deeper into long gravel efforts.

SRAM Rival AXS XPLR 1x13 Wireless Drivetrain

The SRAM Rival AXS E1 XPLR 1x13 drivetrain delivers crisp, reliable electronic shifting with a simplified 1x setup ideal for gravel racing and adventure riding. The wide-range 10–46t cassette paired with a 40t chainring gives you the range to spin efficiently on steep climbs while still pushing hard on fast, open sections.

Roval Terra C Carbon Wheels Built for Gravel

Roval Terra C carbon wheels feature a 25mm internal width optimized for high-volume gravel tires. They provide excellent stability, durability, and efficient power transfer, allowing you to run lower pressures for traction and comfort without sacrificing speed or responsiveness.

700x45 Tire Clearance for True All-Terrain Capability

With clearance for 700x45mm tires, the Diverge 4 Expert AXS is ready for everything from smooth dirt roads to rough, technical gravel and light singletrack. The added tire volume improves grip, confidence, and comfort, especially during long or high-speed rides on unpredictable surfaces.
