The 2019 Diamondback Release 2 is an Trail mountain bike. It sports 27.5" wheels, is priced at $2,800 USD, comes in a range of sizes, including SM/15.5" / Rider Height: 5'4" - 5'7" , MD/17" Rider Height 5'7"- 5'10" , LG/19" Rider Height 5'10" - 6'2" , XL/21" Rider Height 6'2" - 6'6", has Fox suspension and a Shimano drivetrain. The bike is part of Diamondback's Release range of mountain bikes.

The Release turned heads and earned rave reviews from the cycling press when it debuted. We’re proud of that fact, but (at the risk of sounding conceited) we’re not entirely surprised. Our patent-pending Level Link system is the best-pedaling suspension design we’ve ever cooked up.
