Samenvatting

The Diamondback Release is a versatile trail bike praised for its playful and responsive ride, excellent climbing efficiency, and capable descending performance. Its Level Link suspension system is frequently highlighted for providing better traction and control, making it a standout in its category. The bike's carbon frame models are noted for their stiffness and lightweight, offering a competitive edge at a reasonable price point.

Pros
  • Playful and responsive ride

  • Excellent climbing efficiency

  • Capable descending performance

  • Level Link suspension system for better traction and control

  • Competitive pricing for carbon frame models

Cons
  • Lacks a bottle cage mount in the frame

  • Rear travel may feel limited in high-speed, high-intensity terrain

  • Some models only available in aluminum

Key Quotes
The Release Carbon is more agile, more responsive, and more flickable than its already playful aluminum sibling.

Don’t let the rear wheel travel fool you—this is a 130mm travel bike that really acts and feels a lot like ones with 10 to 20mm more in terms of overall handling and ability.

  • Contemporary geometry

  • Pedal-friendly suspension

Diamondback Release 5C // Bike Review

apr 2018 · Spencer Johnson

In the last five years bike standards have jumped up substantially—to the point it’s hard to buy a bad bike. We should consider ourselves lucky that the bike industry is full of passionate companies all creating designs that have their own flavor. Now days, it is often less a question of “Is this bike good?” but rather, “Is this bike good for me?” Nearly every combination of wheel size, travel and suspension platform is available, so it’s simply a matter of determining how each one of these factors matches with personal preference and riding style. Originally released in 2016, Diamondback’s Release is perhaps best classified as a decently slack, mid-travel bike designed for all-around ripping. With the 2018 model, Diamondback has now taken the Release to the next level: carbon. They’ve stuck with the bike’s signature Level Link suspension—a game-changer from their previous platforms—and a nearly identical geometry. Every notable and lovable factor of the original Release still stands, the bike is now just lighter and noticeably more stiff.
