DIAMONDBACK RELEASE 29 3
When you spend hours in the saddle getting to a jaw-dropping descent, your bike should 100 percent rip. Those are the days for the Release 29 3. This aluminum trail bike is built on the same 130mm travel Level Link suspension platform as its smaller-wheeled siblings, the Release and Catch. We’ve adjusted the geometry for 29-inch wheels while keeping the same playful attitude of all our Level Link bikes. A Shimano XT drivetrain paired with Shimano XT cranks provides crisp shifts. The Fox Performance Float DPX2 rear shock offers improved performance on the most aggressive descents plus a greater compression adjustment range. For truly hairy descents, the 140mm travel Fox 34 Performance fork and Shimano XT brakes keep you laser-focused.
- Hydroformed aluminum frame features Level Link system for efficient yet supple suspension: 140mm front, 130mm rear
- Fox Performance Float DPX2 rear shock has excellent small-bump sensitivity plus improved adjustment range
- 140mm travel Fox 34 Performance Float fork features Grip damper for more consistent feel
- Shimano XT cranks and Shimano XT 1x12-speed drivetrain for light weight and smooth shifting
- Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes offer excellent power and modulation
