Learn More About the 2022 Diamondback Release 3
If you're looking for a full-suspension mountain bike that handles tough trails with ease, check out the 2022 Diamondback Release 3. This bike is made to keep up with aggressive riding styles and tricky terrain, offering solid control and confidence when the trail gets technical.
Frame details
The heart of the bike is its 6061 T-6 aluminum frame. Think strong, light, and with geometry focused on keeping you agile and comfortable on the trail. It balances durability with a lively feel, so you can push hard without worrying about your bike holding back.
Drivetrain
Shifting gears is smooth, thanks to the Shimano XT drivetrain. This setup delivers reliable precision, whether you're grinding up steep climbs or flying down descents. A wide gear range means you'll always find the right cadence for the moment, and the proven durability keeps performance steady in any weather or trail condition.
Front suspension
Up front, the Fox Float Performance 34 fork with 140mm of travel takes the edge off rough terrain. It soaks up bumps with a plush feel, yet stays responsive when you need it. Plus, you can tweak its settings to match your ride style and the trail conditions.
Rear suspension
In the rear, the Fox Float Performance DPX2 Evol shock offers 130mm of travel and a handy 3-position lever. You can flip between firm pedaling on climbs and plush suspension on descents without stopping. The rear shock helps maintain traction and smoothness, so your ride feels controlled no matter what comes next.
Wheels
Rolling on Diamondback Blanchard 28R tubeless wheels, the bike keeps things lightweight but tough. These wheels can handle wider tires and let you run lower pressure for better grip and comfort, without pinch flats getting in the way.
Brakes
You'll also find a set of Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes. They deliver strong, reliable bite and excellent modulation, helping you keep control whether you're slowing down for a tight corner or managing a fast descent.
Tires
The tires here are Maxxis Minion DHF up front and Minion DHR II out back, both 29x2.3" with EXO sidewalls. These tread patterns are built to bite hard into dirt and rocks, providing traction when you need it most. The EXO protection adds durability and helps keep punctures at bay when the trail gets rough.
Saddle
Finishing off the cockpit is the WTB Koda Race saddle. It strikes a good balance between comfort and performance-oriented shape, letting you stay efficient on the pedals while keeping aches away on longer rides.
This bike is clearly built for riders who want to attack trails with confidence. If you're wanting a solid platform that feels lively but is tough enough for serious riding, the 2022 Diamondback Release 3 delivers.
