"The Diverge 4 Expert AXS comes spec'd smartly with all the gear you would want in a bike of this caliber, but nothing extra "just for show". It starts with the SRAM Rival AXS XPLR groupset. It's a great-looking groupset and sets off the gunmetal matte frame nicely. The crankset is one of my favorite features, and it looks great on the new Diverge4."
"However, looks aren't everything, so I must mention that it shifts crisply, the brakes are leagues above the previous version, and with the wide 10-44T cassette, it feels perfectly at home on gravel epics when you run out of legs. The Roval Terra C carbon wheels add stiffness and drop some weight, and the DT-Swiss 370 hubs let you know the wheels will be around for a while."
The Expert AXS build pairs a FACT 9r carbon frame with Future Shock 3.2, SWAT 4.0 storage, Roval carbon wheels, and a SRAM Rival AXS XPLR drivetrain at $4,600 less than Pro models. The Rival AXS shifts crisply and the brakes are a major improvement over the previous version. The wide 10-44T cassette provides low gearing for long gravel rides. Roval Terra C carbon wheels with DT-Swiss 370 hubs add stiffness and reduce weight. The 45mm Pathfinder Pro tubeless tires balance pavement speed and off-road confidence. The build remains light enough for racing while offering practical storage and versatile cockpit ergonomics.
