[leadin]Diamondback today lifted the veil on a new mountain bike family, the ‘Catch and Release,’ with a highly-engineered rear suspension that impressed our reviewer. It hits the market today.[/leadin]

Squinting through the red dust ahead of me I caught glimpses of a rider slaying the trail. The mountain was his playground, riding as if there was no consequence for error. It seemed almost as if he was skiing in powder; it was otherworldly.
Although it felt like a dream, I was a witness, one of a group riding behind a pro rider while testing a new bike from Diamondback.
Both on the road and trail, Diamondback has been investing in R&D. Its top of the line road bikes were redone for pro teams a few years ago, and now the mountain bikes are getting a big dose of investment.
Diamondback introduces a rear-suspension design today, the “LEVEL LINK.” It might not be as good as Diamondback’s pro riders, but I was favorably impressed with the suspension platform, seen in two styles of bikes and five models, all announced today.
