Saving money on aluminum allows Orbea to put more money into components. Orbea is a name that you will find with many high-end cycling groups and triathletes. The European bike brand has been made in Spain since the 1930s, and is known for cranking out great bikes from the entry-level all the way up to high-end, $8,000 cycles.
When mated to our full carbon FACT fork, the Diverge Base E5 becomes a light, lively, and versatile bike that’s ready to attack any surface. The new Diverge has the most progressive geometry we’ve ever created for a drop bar bike, giving riders a capable and stable bike in the dirt, that still feels responsive and nimble on the road. We’ve increased the frame’s reach and introduced a slacker head tube and a longer offset fork. All this creates incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt, while spec’ing shorter stems keeps the overall cockpit length the same and the steering lively.

Add-Ons.You likely will buy a bike that is pretty basic — it will be a brand-new, high-functioning bike but the add-ons will be yours to install. Whether you ask a bike shop to do it, or install add-ons yourself, think about things like your hydration setup, a bike computer, and other add-ons that that suit your riding style.
