DIAMONDBACK / 2015

Camarillo, California. 1978. That’s when it started. That’s when we started to defy convention. To change the humble bike to suit our passions, to suit those sweet lines down the mountain and to suit that epic jump.

1978 is when dared to be different, to seek out the knife edge and find a very exciting place to exist. We’ve been in that place for over 35 years. A lifetime of honing, developing and innovating.

Precision, durability and integrity are the values we set out with and, whichever style of bike we’ve turned our hand to, they’ve remained at the core of the company ever since.

That ethos informs each and every one of our product decisions and is ingrained in each and every one of the riders representing Diamondback.

Why though? Why do we believe in the importance of those words?

Because we love riding bikes and pushing those bikes and our bodies to their limits. Advancing technology and advancing human endeavors. And being true to the guiding principles of creating the most advanced products possible, the most accurate products possible, and the most fun products possible allows you to achieve great things on our bikes.

Join us on the edge

MOUNTAIN BIKE / 2015

For us riders here in Europe, we needed a 27.5” hard tail offering that was a little bit more capable.

Enter the Myers all mountain hard tail. This rig is slack and low slung - meant for today’s shredder who wants to pedal up but charge down with aggressiveness.Running long travel forks places extra stress on the head tube, to combat this we use a tapered head tube, with 1.5” bearings on the lower cup and 11/8” on the upper to keep the weight down.

Keeping the rear end stiff and making it a breeze to change the rear wheel fast, all Myer’s models feature a 142x12mm rear axle. Combined with this, we’ve also built a replaceable derailleur hanger into the dropout. We’ve dropped the chain stays to be lower in position, which avoids chain slap on rugged descents, and prevents the chain from damaging the chain stay material, and possibly the chain itself.

All Myers frames are equipped with the facility to run a stealth dropper post, extra guides are positioned under the down tube and a cable opening placed strategically on the back of the seat tube.

Although 1x drive is be coming more popular, some riders still prefer to run traditional chain guides, so to accommodate this we’ve included ISCG5 mounts on all Myers as standard.

ALL MOUNTAIN 27.5” / 2015

The Myers 3.0 all mountain 27.5” hardtail is the gravity oriented all mountain rider’s dream machine. When we set out, we wanted a bike which takes us back to why we loved mountain biking originally; fun! The Myers is a bike which is at home tearing down a hill side run, or ripping through the single track at a trail center.

All of the Myers range features an all mountain 6061-T6 enduro grade aluminum frame with a formed top tube, a formed and butted down tube, tapered head tube, stealth dropper post ready, ISCG5 tabs and a 142×12mm Maxle drop out as standard.Through the range we use RockShox suspension forks, different levels of SRAM drivetrain and steering is controlled by Race Face.

Diamondback is a company with bold ideals. We have high demands and are steadfast in our quest to produce the best bikes in the world. This philosophy is infused in everything we do to ensure that we always remain true to our core values.

Diamondback’s carbon Lumis series is one example. It offers breathtaking aesthetics married with exceptional performance. For 2015, through months of testing, analysis and design, we’ve developed a platform for the finest riders in the world - and made it accessible to the weekend warrior. We continually strive to make an incredible product, better. That is the Diamondback design philosophy.

The Diamondback Lumis series frame is handmade using our Advanced Carbon Monocoque Design process (ACMD). ACMD ensures that each piece of carbon ply is laid precisely where our engineers want it, by using several different grades of material, layed in the right places, we have created a frame which is light but also stiff. An optimized resin compound is used to bind the carbon fibres together with precision alignment during the heating process. Using too much resin makes a frame feel heavy and sluggish. Too little resin can result in fibre separation and frame failure. Optimizing our resin-to-fibre ratio allows us to enhance our ratio of material weight-to-strength. The result is an exceptionally light weight, impact-resistant frame, the Lumis frame weighs in at just 1150g.

While this is an ongoing debate amongst the masses, there are notable benefits to the 27.5” wheel that continue to contribute to its growing popularity. Lower rolling resistance and better traction giving you a smoother ride similar to that of the 29”, but with less geometry and suspension travel limitations, or toe clearance concerns.

During the design process of our 27.5” models we set out to make a range of bikes that would be able to be ridden in the wettest European climate, so plenty of mud clearance was essential.

The tubing profile we’ve used for the top tube and down tube have been hydrofomed to offer ultra-sleek yet simple lines, with uncompromised strength and a unique style like only we know how.

Also by double butting these tubes, we can take weight out of the bike, creating a more responsive ride when you’re out on the trails.

In the end you have a smoother ride than a 26” wheel and greater torsional stiffness than a 29” wheel.

27.5” wheel TECHNOLOGY ANGLE OF ATTACKSmoother ride than a 26” wheel and greater torsional stiffness and durability than a 29” wheel for more extreme riding.

MOMENTUMLower rolling resistance and better traction giving you a smoother ride similar to that of the 29”.

AccelerationFaster acceleration than a 29” wheel, yet better ability to roll through rough sections and over obstacles more than a 26” wheel.

HANDLINGCombining the trail crushing dominance of the 29” wheel with the agility of the 26” wheel, they offer the best of both worlds.

TRAVELLess geometry and suspension travel limitations than 29”, means longer travel & more aggressive riding is possible.

Rider Height27.5” bikes offer medium height riders more “natural” frame geometry.

TRAIL 29” - ALUMINIUM / 2015

There’s no denying the rock crawling, root crushing power of a larger diameter wheel. Making the largest of obstacles the smallest of matters is a defining trait of these muddy beasts. By offering decreased rolling resistance, increased traction when cornering and improved ground clearance, one ride upon one of the massive behemoths is sure to sway even the staunchest skeptic.

During the design process of our 29” hard tail frame we set out to make a bike that would be able to be ridden in the wettest European climate, so plenty of mud clearance was essential.

The tubing profile we’ve used for the top tube and down tube have been hydrofomed to offer ultra-sleek yet simple lines, with uncompromised strength and a unique style like only we know how.

Also by double butting these tubes, we can take weight out of the bike, creating a more responsive ride when you’re out on the trails.

29” wheel TECHNOLOGY ANGLE OF ATTACKLarger wheels decrease your angle of attack by allowing you to roll over obstacles easier and faster. Bigger wheel equals smaller obstacle.

MOMENTUMA larger wheel enables you to carry momentum easier though obstacles.

SURFACE CONTACT29” wheels are less prone to sinking in soft material such as sand and mud due to the larger contact patch causing lower ground pressure. The longer contact patch increases cornering and straight line traction.

StabilityThe relative position of the bottom bracket/cranks to the axles in the wheels also means that your relative center of gravity is lower. This results in a feeling of riding “in” the bike rather than on top of it.

Tyre ClearanceWith more tyre choices than any platform, the 29” wheel easily accommodates off road as well as commuting tires.

Taller Riders29” bikes tend to offer taller riders more “natural” frame geometry.

FULL SUSPENSION 27.5” / 2015

For 2015, the game is changing. We are now entering what we are calling the KnuckleBox Migration. What this means is that we have refined the platform to leverage even more performance from our proven KnuckleBox design. We did this by shifting all the suspension components forward in the frame. This increased the travel to 160mm and made room for the fast rolling / nimble 27.5” wheels. A newly designed and inverted KnuckleBox linkage and our proprietary single sided hardware round out our signature all mountain full suspension ride!

The KnuckleBox, or bell crank, is the core of our single-pivot four-bar suspension platform. Optimally placed pivots equate to a low leverage ratio, and ultimately to superior pedaling efficiency and small-bump compliance. This also allows the shock to work more efficiently, reduces pedal induced motion and reduces overall load on the system which will lead to improved shock and bearing life.

Placing the KnuckleBox low within the frame situates the greatest weight of the bike closer to the bottom bracket, which lowers the bike’s center of gravity and allows it to track and corner better.

Wheel-rate is a significant aspect of any suspension system - this is the effective spring-rate when measured at the wheel. A benefit of our four-bar linkage is increased control over the wheel-rate. Obtaining the spring-rate curves in shocks from Fox is necessary to allowing us to determine the wheel-rate.

Working closely with Fox, we’re able to optimize the wheel-rate to be linear-to-slightly progressive. This results in superb small-bump compliance, more perceived travel and excellent bottom-out protection. For this application we’ve chosen to run a 160mm Fox Float X CTD w/ Trail Adjust Air Shock. The Float X is specifically designed for aggressive all mountain riding and the CTD (Climb, Descend, Trail) offers a wide range of compression dampening.

Overall, the Float X provides a feeling of endless travel and plushness like that of a downhill rig, but with pedaling efficiency of an XC machine.

Get on the aptly named Mission Pro 27.5 and you will definitely feel like a pro. Packing 160mm of point-and-shoot full suspension travel, this 27.5” wheeled all mountain bike wants to tear into rough, steep terrain, looking for hits and drops that would have the amateurs searching for a B-line. That’s all well and good you say, but as an aspiring Enduro racer you need to go up to go down... No problem.The Fox CTD equipped Knucklebox Migration suspension design also reduces pedal induced motion without compromising small bump compliance, delivering you to the top efficiently and comfortably so you have more energy for another rip back down.

Bicycle Moto Cross, or BMX as its better known has been at the heart of Diamondback since our creation in 1978.

A BMX bike is your ticket to freedom. You can explore the streets, shred the local skatepark, or run a train through the trails with buddies.

With all our bikes, we’ve designed them using the best materials and components available, using 4130 Cr-Mo tubing where others use lesser 1020 hi-tensile steel, Alienation rims, and from Odyssey tyre’s and pedals.

Since 1978, Diamondback has had that spirit. Bunny hops have turned into triple tail whips and racing is an Olympic sport.

Our frames, our logos and our riders may have changed but our commitment and dedication to building the best BMX bikes of the planet remains steadfast.

Our world is growing and ultimately we’re still exploring it.
