Overview
About this bike
Designed to deliver Diamondback's new Level Link suspension platform to the public, the Release 3 is a dream machine come to life. The frame’s geometry was engineered to get the most out of their new suspension system. The lines reflect today’s mountain bike: a shorter rear end and longer top tube make for a quick bike that stays stable at speed. With 130mm of rear travel and a 150mm RockShox Pike up front, this bike gobbles up rough sections like a much bigger bike. And as an extremely efficient pedaler, it blazes up climbs and rolling singletrack just as well. Hydroformed aluminum tubes make up the low-slung and semi-slack frame. Top-notch parts finish off the build: 11-speed SRAM X1, a KS LEV Integra dropper post, SRAM Guide RS hydraulic brakes with 180mm rotors, and Diamondback's wide Blanchard rims. For riders who look for speed at every possible moment, the Release 3 is the bike.
