What Makes Diamondback Release 3 an All Mountain Bike?

Awesome suspension

If there is a feature that the Diamondback Release 3 doesn’t shy away from is the new level link suspension. Bearing in mind the essence of having a good suspension system on a bike, this isn’t a feature to pass. Just to mention, suspensions are great contributors towards comfort. Especially for mountain riders, having a bicycle with a good suspension system shouldn’t be a gamble.

DB Release 3 suspension system is the beast on downhills and does a good job climbing too. As mentioned, it uses a level link suspension technology that eliminated the conventional pedal bob system.

Unbeatable Frame & Fork

With such a good suspension system, what do you anticipate from the frame? The Diamondback Release 3 frame seems extremely rugged and durable. The geometry of this frame is designed to get the most out of its new amazing suspension system. This is perhaps why it is a plus despite adding an extra pound or two. The bicycle uses a Release 130mm travel.

Riders with the Diamondback Release 3 experience attest that it actually seems like a 150mm frame. The frame has an incorporated level link suspension with hydroformed tubing, ISCG-05 Tabs, a Boost 148x12mm Maxle Drop out and 1.5” tapered headtube. With such an outstanding frame, expect nothing less from its fork. So to say, it uses a RockShox Pike RCT3 150mm travel fork with external rebound and a 3 position compression damping.

Amazing speed

Speed is definitely among the main aspects to look out for in any mountain bicycle. Nobody wants a bike that can’t get better speedy moments to reminisce later. Note that a bike’s speed is complemented by various features. Aside from the necessary strong build and design, front and rear derailleur, chain, shifter and Cogset also contribute a lot.

The Diamondback Release 3 three bicycle line reflects most modern bike features. One of importance is the short rear end and long top tube which enables the Diamondback Release 3 easily attain and stay at 11 speed. The 130mm rear travel and 150mm RockShox pike enables the bike to gobble up rough terrains without much effect on speed like bigger bikes.

Tires and Rims

No rider certainly enjoys replacing a bicycle’s tires or rims frequently. Despite being costly, it is tiring. That said, consider getting a bicycle with satisfactory and durable tires and rims. The Diamondback Release 3 bike is made and finished off by quality parts. The rims are DB Blanchard 28R models. They are used with other DB models with utmost precision. They are both tube and tubeless compatible. Such priceless!

Tires, on the other hand, are the Schwalbe Hans Dampf brand. They measure 27.5 x2.35” and easy folding. They are made of snakeskin to ascertain quality and durability.

Suggested sizing

What’s your size? Diamondback often releases a size guide that goes with every model. Use the guide to choose the right bike size for you. Note that there is a range of sizes that are the best fit for all riders. Size determination is important to ensure that riders get a comfortable posture and attain a pedaling comfortability every time on the bike.

As mentioned before, the size guide comes in four clusters. They are:

• Small size of 15” suitable for rider height between 5’4” to 5’7”
• Medium size of 17” suitable for rider height ranging from 5’7” to 5’10”
• Large size of 19” suiting rider height of between 5’10” to 6’2”
• Extra-large size of 21” perfect for rider height of 6’2” to 6’6”.

Assembling the remaining parts is often one of the daunting tasks once your new bicycle arrives. However, most of the Diamondback bicycles come with the ReadyRide feature. This reduces the time and skills required for the final step assembly. Assembly is typically time-consuming and requires some technical know-how. This can be quite challenging. Especially for amateurs, assembling the bike can take up to 2 hours. However, Diamondback attaches an owner’s manual and toolkit to ease your assembly process.
