Diva - 2016

Overview 

Why the Diva?

 

  • Designed in Halifax, UK
  • Five year frame warranty
  • Lightweight custom butted aluminium frame
  • Increased toptube clearance

  • RockShox Recon Silver 120mm forks
  • Shimano SLX/Deore drivetrain
  • Shimano brakes
  • Custom SDG women’s specific saddle

The Diva offers that little bit extra than the standard bike; lighter weight with the spec upgrades which make the biggest difference. The bike for those wanting top quality without moving to full-suspension.

 

The Diva high-performance hardtail geometry for women.

With 27.5inch wheels and 6061-T6 aluminium tubing the Diva sports a chassis that’s efficient on the pedals, inspiring in the singletrack and forgiving enough to reduce fatigue on day-long rides. 

For 2016 the Orange Diva hardtail frame gets a makeover. We’ve looked at every tube and adjusted them where we can to improve ride quality. The Diva joins the rest of the range with a longer top-tube and short stem, making steering more direct and improving the rider’s weight distribution to give more front wheel traction. We have replaced the monostay rear end with compliant custom butted seatstays to add a little more comfort. The Diva is all about sure-footed, confident handling - up or down.

Just as with any of our bikes you’ll find the Diva is geared towards fun regardless of what the trail is doing and with components designed to relieve pressure points the fun only stops when you do.
