At the core of the 2022 Diamondback Release 2 is the Diamondback 6061 T-6 Aluminum frame. This frame is constructed using lightweight and durable aluminum, providing a solid foundation for the bike's performance.

The Fox Rhythm 34 fork with 140mm of travel enhances the bike's trail capabilities. This suspension fork delivers a plush and controlled ride, absorbing impacts and smoothing out rough terrain.

The 3-position lever allows riders to easily adjust the shock's compression settings on the go, providing efficient pedaling performance on climbs and full suspension support on descents.

The Diamondback Release 2 rolls on the Diamondback Blanchard 28R tubeless wheelset. These wheels offer a great balance of strength, durability, and lightweight performance. The tubeless-ready design allows for lower tire pressures, enhancing traction and reducing the risk of pinch flats. The Blanchard 28R wheels are wide enough to support larger volume tires, allowing riders to benefit from improved grip and stability on the trails.

For reliable stopping power, the 2022 Diamondback Release 2 is equipped with Shimano SLX brakes.

The Minion tires are known for their aggressive tread pattern, which offers exceptional grip in a variety of trail conditions. The EXO sidewall protection adds an extra layer of durability to the tires, reducing the risk of punctures and cuts. These tires inspire confidence, allowing riders to push their limits and tackle challenging terrain with ease.
