We first saw the new Diamondback DH bike at the Port Angeles ProGRT race...
... it has been refined since then. Kyle fills us in on the details.
Geometry is adjustable by simply changing the shock mount position.
The rear pivot has been moved up to tweak the suspension characteristics and performance.
Video is processing. Try again soon.
The rear derailleur housing is fed through the swingarm.
Small details really bring this bike together aesthetically.
Built in fork bumpers are now an option.
Cable rub is no more...
Here's a closer look at the linkage
"Diamondback for life"
We'll continue to bring you updates on the evolution of Diamondback's new DH rig. <b><a href="http://www.vitalmtb.com/photos/features/Bike-Check-Kyle-Thomass-Prototype-Diamondback-DH-Bike,2188/Slideshow,17390/bturman,109" target="_blank"><font color="#88bb22">Check out the first version of this bike here.</font></a></b>
