Overview
About this bike
The Release turned heads and earned rave reviews from the cycling press when it debuted. We're proud of that fact, but (at the risk of sounding conceited) we're not entirely surprised. Our patent-pending Level Link system is the best-pedaling suspension design we've ever cooked up. What's more, the bike's progressive geometry helps make the Release fast and flickable, yet supremely confident at high speeds. It's a winning combination. We equipped the Release 2 with a host of reliable components, including a KS E30i S dropper post, Shimano SLX single-ring drivetrain components, and a 150mm Fox Rhythm 34 fork — a fork that plows through big hits without diving or flexing. Tackle tough climbs and fast, steep, technical descents aboard the Release 2. - Level Link design equals 130mm of efficient-yet-supple rear suspension - Fox Float DPS EVOL LV shock - Fox Rhythm 34 fork with 150mm travel and grip damper, 15mm thru-axle - Shimano SLX 1x11 drivetrain components with Race Face cranks provide plenty of gear range - Diamondback Blanchard 28R wheels make it easy to go tubeless
