2022 Diamondback Release 29 1

2022 Diamondback Release 29 1

Ready to make you a better cyclist.

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.

Check out the table below for the full specs and details on components.

Also check out our bike guides to the Release 29" 2, Release 29" 3, and the 27.5" Release 5c.
