Diamondback Release 29 2 Trail Bike
The Release 29 2 is the leaner sibling within the Release and Catch family of full-suspension mountain bikes. Tailored for those extended journeys that demand both endurance and a knack for tearing through trails, this aluminum trail conqueror is grounded on a 130mm travel Level Link suspension system. We've fine-tuned its geometry to accommodate 29-inch tubeless-ready wheels, all the while preserving the lively spirit that characterizes our renowned Level Link bikes.
Equipped with the Fox Float DPS Performance shock featuring an EVOL LV air sleeve, it delivers exceptional responsiveness and a seemingly boundless capacity to absorb the roughest challenges presented by steep and intricate terrain. Complementing this, a 140mm travel Fox Rhythm 34 fork, Sram NX Eagle drivetrain, and hydraulic brakes ensure you maintain unwavering focus, no matter what hurdles the trail throws your way.
