COMPLIANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE Suspend the Rider

For decades, we’ve been making riders more confident, comfortable, and fast over rough terrain because we know smoother is faster and the all new Diverge STR sets a new benchmark. By suspending the rider -  instead of the bike -  with front and rear Future Shock technology we increase control and efficiency while decreasing fatigue, without the weight, sluggish pedal response, and inefficiency of other suspension systems.
