I bought a Diverge 11 months ago and I love it. I'm riding mostly on paved roads, with some trail riding, typically 15-20 miles a day. I'm riding for exercise (not for transportation) and most of my riding is on the drops. The Diverge seems like a great "do everything" bike. It's good on the road, but also good off-road as long as things aren't too rough. As to the low bottom bracket, it makes the bike feel more stable because the center of gravity is lower, but I have had a few pedal strikes so I'm very conscious of keeping the pedal going into a turn up to avoid that. The bike is very comfortable. I've gone on a few rides over 50 miles (longest ride--62 miles) and have felt good afterward. My bike is a 2019 model and I believe the 2021 model has a higher bottom bracket. The 2020 frame is the same as the 2019 that I have, so there are slight differences between the 2020 and 2021 models. I'm guessing you're looking at a 2020 because the 2021 models are just coming out. I'm very happy with my Diverge.
