2022 Diamondback Release 5C
You can have it all in a bike.
The 2022 Diamondback Release 5C is the perfect all-rounder that you'll just wish you had sooner. It's long in the front, short in the rear, and low in the bottom bracket. Super modern geometry for tackling high speeds while staying agile.
The Release 5C is equipped with a FOX 36 Performance Elite Float fork and Fox Performance Elite Float DPX2 rear chock, an ultra-precise SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, and quick-stopping SRAM G2 RS hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors.
