Diverge Fact 8r vs 9r

[loup]

Hey there!
I've an interesting offer of a new 2022 Diverge frameset from a former Diverge Sport build kit.

Meaning it's an Fact 8r carbon frame with future shock 1.5 and without box.

The 1.5 future shock and not having a box would be ok for me. Future shock 1.5 seems to be 50g lighter anyhow compared to 2.0.

Is there any other difference between the Fact 9r Frame? Meaning: stiffness, comfort, weight...

Sorry couldn't find much details to the 8r so far

From my understanding, all the frames would ride similar. The higher the number means a higher grade carbon and less of it. So it's lighter but the rest is the same.

Hi, I have the 8R frame, rides really nice now I've upgraded a few pieces, I think the main difference apart from the grade of carbon is the 9R frames have the storage section in the down tube, a flap that opens under the bottle cage area where you can store tubes/tools etc in a SWAT bag, quite a neat solution.

All said beeing right. But what does this mean in terms of weight difference? Anyone with some data?

Quite a lot of info here loup

Suggests 9r framesets are approximately 200g lighter than their equivalent 8r frameset.
