Why We Like The Diamondback Release 1 Mountain Bike

When we need a capable trail bike that doesn't cost an arm and a leg but is still fitted with quality components and gets the job done, the Diamondback Release is the first that comes to mind. Complete with 29-inch wheels, 130mm of Level Link suspension, and an aluminum frame, the Release is ready to rip and is a perfect trail bike for amateur and more experienced riders alike. With a 67.7-degree head tube angle and a 73-degree seat tube angle, we are in an ideal position to maintain precise handling on flat trails, given more confidence when the trail gets steeper, and still provide an efficient pedaling position when it is time to climb back up and do it all over again. Medium-length 446mm chainstays across all sizes offer a stable yet playful rear end, and a low standover height allows us to run longer stroke dropper posts so we can get the perfect fit. The Release is fitted with an integrated chainstay and downtube protector to protect our frame from chain slaps and rock strikes, and a water bottle mount on the bottom side of the downtube allows us to always stay hydrated.


The Diamondback Release 1 is fitted with quality components that are reliable and don't come at a hefty price tag. First, Diamondback's 6061-T6 aluminum alloy frame is super durable and gives us peace of mind when we have a minor crash. SRAM's SX drivetrain sports a big 11-50t, 12-speed gear range to help get us up any technical climb and has proven reliability. A RockShox Monarch R rear shock and a 35 Silver, 140mm fork provide bump-eating performance, and the fork has a lockout to help us climb more efficiently. Diamondback Blanchard rims with brand-name hubs are slapped onto premium Maxxis DHF and DHRII tires to give us a reliable, strong wheelset and tons of traction as we plow through the rough stuff.


*Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level. If you have any questions, reach out to a Gearhead by chatting online or calling 1-888-276-7130.
