My friends and I did part of our normal route today--April 2--and it snowed! Ok--we live in New England but c'mon...it's April. So it was nice to see this awesome ride in the sun. Great work, Trent!
Haha! Los Angeles is great for year round riding. Typically have to deal with it being too hot rather than too cold. If it sbelow 55F I'm... sooo so so cold. Hahah!~
Good stuff! Love your Diverge and a great ride and adventure. Almost went for the brassy yellow but went with the gloss blaze comp instead (couldn’t wait any longer!). The bike stations on the trails are such a great feature, would be fun to these down here in the OC. Keep ridin’
I dont think you can go wrong. I'm so lucky I got the color I wanted int he size I need ready to be bought in my local bike shop! Perhaps its slightly small for me and I could size up... but this past year a bike that is available is better than the perfect bike a year out. Cheers!
great stuff trent! when you hit the dirt at vanowen/valley circle there's a little single track across the stream bed on the north that's more fun and easier than the hill and the washed out section. will(from the swift campout)
Heck yeah!! I'll have to give that a try next time. I'm also planning on a route taking me back to Thousand Oaks through the mountains and China Flats. Trying to get more familiar with my local trails!!
Thanks Isaac! I've been loving your channel too! Going To The Sun Road is high on my list of climbs to do next year. What a treat to ride while the park is closed!
It was a fun one! I'm looking into making more routes around here... some with more gravel on them. Glad you enjoyed and YES get the Sport Carbon its been AMAZING and ive put it through the ringer
Love ur video... truthfully, I can’t justify spending more than $1000 for a bike... I really love the diverge though. I really want to get one.. the price is killing me. I can afford it and I have the cash, But men..... I said the same thing with my Apple Watch series 6, Now I love it. 😂😂
Cool video man. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on my first gravel bike. I've had my heart set on the Surly midnight special or Kona Rove (everyone is saying steel is the way to go). I just test rode the Diverge sport carbon and loved the future shock. However, I did not like the 38cc tires. I was wondering how you think the diverge would ride with 650b tires? I'm not as young as you and need the extra cush, lol. Specialized says you can put up to 700x47 or 650x2.1 Appreciate your thoughts. Ride fast, be safe
Hey Terry! I love my diverge. I just Took it on a crazy off-road route and beat the crap out of it.. while it's over weight too. I don't understand the steel vs carbon debate, but I love my diverge sport carbon. Super rigid, 42mm tires on my 700c rims, and looking into investing in a set of 650B's myself. Then keep the 700's more for road. Let me know what you end up doing. Cheers!

That colors insane. I might go get this bike today!
Do it! The yellow is THE BEST!

The diverge is wonderful! Thanks for watching! :)

Good stuff, man!
Thanks Ferrol! New episode coming soon!
Great video! Damn that color looks good...much better than what it looks like on their website!
Yes!! The color is the best!! Need to get the MTB version this year before they stop running it!!
Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Hey man, great video. Just got the exact same bike in the same color. So stoked for it to arrive
Heck yeah! You're going to love it!!
Nice vid - good job
Thanks Joseph I appreciate it
Great video man!

nice color choice
The reason I got this model of diverge!
Nice work- like the route you took- local here myself in Camarillo planning to buy a carbon sport myself.

It's worth it. I talked to some friends before buying it.. you cant put a price on health.
Hi, love your videos!
What made you go for the DIVERGE SPORT ? And a carbon frame ?
👍🏻
I wanted the Yellow! Want specifically after carbon... but wanted a gravel bike.. something that could be used for bike packing.
Nice video and nice color. Are stock tires good enough to go gravel ?
Yeah, the pathfinder pro 38c were awesome!!
Nice music nice vid
Thanks Victor
How do you fix semi deep scratches on this yellow?

What saddle didyouget
.
A specialized Mimic in the correct width for my bum!
Heavy bike? I think the stock wheels are heavy....
I think it was like 23-24lbs with pedals before bikes. I'm not going for weight savings.. I put bags and gear all over the bike.
