ES 2022 Diamondback Release 29 1
Your favorite big-wheeled ripper.
The Release 29 1 was made for long days and big lines. It's a 29er with the same 130mm travel Level Link suspension as its smaller-wheeled siblings. Geometry is adjusted for the same fun and playful attitude. The SR Suntour Aion suspension fork and Suntour Edge R rear shock eat up the rough stuff on the paths.
Keep it cranking with the SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes for ultimate stopping power, and 2.3-inch wide WTB Vigilante Comp tires for ultimate traction.
