Diamondback

A bike that introduces them to the action, the Hook 24 is a junior version of our do-anything hardtail mountain bike. Equipped to handle the abuse of real mountain bike trails and daily use around the neighborhood, it's made from the same aluminum alloy as our full-size bikes, so it's practically indestructible. A Zoom fork will give them the confidence to take on obstacles, giving your ripper-to-be 50mm of front suspension travel. The 24-inch wheels are stiff and stable, shod with aggressive 2.25-inch wide tires: perfect for tearing up the woods. Disc brakes and a Shimano 7 speed drivetrain will keep them climbing. This model fits riders 53"-62" tall, aged approximately 8-12 years old.

A capable mountain bike for little rippers. For the up-and-coming trail rider, Diamondback makes the Sync'r 24—a completely capable mountain bike with top-shelf components for your little ripper. The 24-inch wheels and low-slung geometry provide just the right fit and handling for the smaller rider, and the 6061 aluminum alloy construction can take plenty of abuse. With big-bike components like a SRAM SX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain, 80mm Suntour fork, and Shimano hydraulic brakes, this bike gives young riders all they need to get to that next level. This model fits riders 53"-62" tall, aged approximately 8-12 years old.

The Release 29 1 is a big-wheeled ripper made for long days and big lines. This aluminum 29er is built on the same 130mm-travel Level Link suspension platform as its smaller-wheeled siblings. We've adjusted the geometry for 29-inch wheels while keeping the same playful attitude of all our Level Link bikes. An SR Suntour Aion suspension fork and a Suntour Edge R rear shock soak up the rough stuff, while SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain components keep you cranking. Our Blanchard wheelset is tubeless compatible and comes with 2.3-inch-wide WTB Vigilante Comp tires for unwavering traction. When it's time to slow down, TRP Slate X2 hydraulic disc brakes keep you on your line all the way down the mountain.

There are plenty of gorgeous carbon bikes out there, it's a fact. However, there are far fewer gorgeous carbon bikes out there that you'd also want to ride all day long. The Century 6C is at the top of that very short list. Our hand-built carbon frame features stiff bottom bracket and head tube junctions, as well as front and rear thru-axles — it's a recipe for precise handling. Our carefully sculpted seat stays and exacting carbon lay-up also provide just the right amount of compliance. The end result is a bike that leaps forward when you put the least effort into the cranks, yet doesn't rattle or exhaust you when you're hours into a ride. Our premium model features equally impressive components — Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and Ultegra 2x11 drivetrain share billing with HED's excellent Flanders wheelset. In a world of harsh and jittery "superbikes," the Century 6C is in a comfortable league of its own. - Enhanced Performance Geometry provides a comfortable, stable ride - Hand-built carbon fiber frame is stiff where you need it, compliant where you want it. It's also Di2 compatible and sports front and rear thru-axles - Shimano hydraulic disc road brakes add control in all conditions - Closed Circuit Cable Routing adds to clean look - Shimano Ultegra 2x11 drivetrain offers seasons of accurate shifts - HED Flanders C2+ disc wheelset is quick to accelerate and durable

The Release 29 2 is the lankier sibling of the Release and Catch full-suspension mountain bikes. Designed for high-mileage days with a high shred factor, this aluminum trail ripper is built on the same 130mm-travel Level Link suspension platform as its smaller-wheeled siblings. We've adjusted the geometry for 29-inch wheels while keeping the same playful attitude that our Level Link bikes have become known for. The Fox Float DPS Performance shock is outfitted with an EVOL LV air sleeve for excellent responsiveness and a bottomless feel to soak up the worst on steep, technical terrain. A 140mm travel Fox Rhythm 34 fork, Shimano SLX drivetrain, and hydraulic stoppers let you stay focused, no matter what the trail dishes out.

Built for tackling tough climbs that lead into fast, steep, technical descents. The Release 4C features the same bottomless-feeling rear suspension and deft handling as our aluminum Release models, but with an even lighter, stiffer chassis built from carbon fiber. It starts with our Level Link suspension system, which isolates chain forces from trail inputs, meaning the suspension doesn't bob when you stomp on the pedals, yet becomes extremely plush on technical descents. For smooth bump-eating performance, the Release 4C is equipped with a Fox Float DPS EVOL LV rear shock and a 150mm travel Fox 36 Performance Float fork. SRAM's NX Eagle 12-speed single-ring drivetrain provides consistent shifting and, thanks to its 50-tooth granny gear, makes short work of pesky climbs. SRAM G2 R brakes keep you slicing through the most technical lines all day long.
