It’s September 2010 and the Diamondback crew is in Las Vegas, NV for Interbike, the bike industry’s premier trade show. The show is going well; we’re having a great time and tonight many of our select industry partners have joined us for a blowout Diamondback get-together at Caesars Palace.

After the party, a number of DB employees and friends hop into a stretch limo and head out to continue our night on the town. Among our guests are two wild fellas we met the night before. As the drinks are poured and laughter roars, the car windows come down. Our guests lean out and call to the people of Las Vegas with utmost pride:“This is Diamondback Y’all!

Diamondback Rules! Diamondback for life…

DB4L! DB4L! It stuck. And it was true. It’s how we, as employees of this company, feel about the products we produce, the colleagues with whom we work day in and day out, and the relationships we’ve built with our dealers and customers. It’s about our core values of precision, durability and integrity, which inform the design and production of our bikes. Everything we build evolves from these values. Everything we stand for is embedded in who we are.

Diamondback is a company unafraid of blazing its own trail.

We are DIAMONDBACK…

AMMP+ORC// LIGHT, STRONG & RESPONSIVE 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 PODIUM CARBON COMPETITION ROAD SERIES is one example. It offers breathtaking aesthetics married with exceptional performance. For 2012, we’ve taken our experience working with carbon fiber to a new level.

Through years of testing, analysis and design, we’ve developed a platform for the finest racers 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.

AMMP

ADVANCED MONOCOQUE M O L D I N G

P R O C E S S

The AMMP SL frame is a lighter version of our CARBON COMPETITION frame. The difference is the addition of higher modulus material which is stronger with greater elongation and tensile strength. Adding these properties makes the frame thinner while maintaining and increasing stiffness because of the additional material properties. Because it’s thinner, it’s lighter.

AMMP

ADVANCED MONOCOQUE M O L D I N G

P R O C E S S

The DIAMONDBACK PODIUM is handmade using our ADVANCED MONOCOQUE MOLDING PROCESS (AMMP). AMMP ensures that each piece of carbon ply is laid precisely where our engineers want it. These carbon plies are hand-wrapped around a polystyrene pre-form core, using a plastic bladder in the shape of the product. To achieve a precise mold during this layup process, we surround the emerging product with a plastic cavity, which guarantees a perfect fit. SILICONE MANDREL SHELLS are then used to reinforce critical joint areas so as to create smoother overlapping fibers at vital junctions such as the head tube and the bottom bracket. Each silicone shell is joined together prior to placing the product in the steel mold. In this final mold, we use a proprietary coating for optimal fiber adhesion.

SILICONE MANDREL SHELLS

ORC

OPTIMIZED RESIN

C O M P O U N D

Our signature OPTIMIZED RESIN COMPOUND is used to bind the carbon fibers 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 fiber separation and frame failure. Optimizing our resin-to-fiber ratio allows us to enhance our ratio of material weight-to-strength.

The result is an exceptionally light weight, impact-resistant frame.

CFT

CONTINUOUS FIBER

T E C H N O L O G Y

DIAMONDBACK’S CONTINUOUS FIBER TECHNOLOGY uses fulllength carbon strands extending from the top of the steer tube to the bottom of the drop outs. Using that same AMMP technology employed in the Podium frame, we’ve created one of the stiffest forks available. With a lower integrated crown race that’s completely carbon, we’ve eliminated the need for a separate aluminum race. This makes the overall system lighter, stronger and more responsive.

CLOSED CIRCUIT CABLING // Closed Circuit Cable routing provides a clean, uncluttered, and sleek finish to the frame.

CONTINUOUS FIBER TECHNOLOGY // Creates a strong and stiff front end for increased stability.

CARBON REPLACEABLE FRONT DERAILLEUR HANGER // Lightweight and easy to mount in the correct position… every time.

CARBON DROPOUT // In-mold compressed carbon drop outs with a replaceable aluminum derailleur hanger.

CCT

CLEAN CORE

T E C H N O L O G Y

Our CLEAN CORE TECHNOLOGY ensures a clean inner core devoid of rough edges or excess material. When the product mold goes into the heat press, the air bladders are pressurized within the polystyrene pre-form core. This fills out the interior crevices and forces the fibers to conform to the shape. The heat softens the carbon plies making them malleable to the mold, and the excess resin is forced out. This makes for a product with light and consistent weight throughout, and produces a smooth surface—inside as well as out.

The right fit for Endurance / Performance riders, Enhanced Performance Geometry (EPG) retains all the handling, geometry and ride characteristics of our Competition platform, with a slightly higher head tube height to put less strain on a rider’s back and neck. It will also improve the fit for riders with slightly less pelvic rotation and core stability. The EPG’s higher head tube is the right way to get many riders in the right place.

At home in some of the wettest, muddiest, gnarliest terrain in the world, we know a thing or two about what it takes to make a mean cyclocross bike: one that sheds mud, ports easy and crushes any root or rock in its path. We understand that a light and stiff platform—via BB30—equates to more acceleration and control while out of the saddle. We also know that a flatter top tube for easy portage and the right geometry are essential to winning any race.

The 2012 Diamondback Steilacoom is the embodiment of everything Northwest. It’s well-equipped to tackle any single track, mud field, sand pit, staircase, hurdle or inclement weather between the starting gate and the finish line.

Every trail has its unique set of characteristics that defines how it will be ridden. Accordingly, the rider chooses how to approach it and upon which steed to do so. Whether your trail has big rocks, giant roots or quickly snaking single track, Diamondback has a Knuckle Box-equipped bike ready to tackle everything you think you can throw at it.

KNUCKLEBOX//DESIGN PHILOSOPHY Diamondback’s Design Philosophy is a no-nonsense approach to building quality bicycles.

We want our bike designs to be straightforward: their hardware accessible and their suspension simple.

The Knuckle Box, 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.

Placing the Knuckle Box 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 better track and corner.

Wheel-rate is one of the most significant aspects of a suspension design. Wheel-rate 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.

LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY// All suspension parts are positioned farther down on the frame for a stable and balanced ride.

LOW LEVERAGE SUSPENSION DESIGN // Lower air pressure results in longer shock life, less frame loading and better pedaling.

TIGHT COMPACT LINKAGE SYSTEM // of the Knuckle Box bell crank isolates and cradles the rear shock.

TIGHT AND LARGE ANODIZED ALUMINUM HARDWARE // matched with Force-Rated Enduro Max Bearings: Withstands higher loads and better handles oscillating motion.

PARTNERSHIP W/ FOX // By providing suspension kinematics early in our design process, Fox is able to custom tune their shock to work precisely with our frames, improving performance.

TAPERED HEAD TUBE // Today’s longer travel forks generate more stress on the head tube. Add in today’s more aggressive rider, and the need for additional strength in that region is imperative. All 2012 Missions and Scapegoats are equipped with tapered head tubes for enhanced steering and extra strength.

142X12 MM THRU AXLE // Employing Shimano’s new 142x12 mm E-Thru design makes for a stiffer and stronger rear-end on the bike.

SINGLE-SIDED HARDWARE // Single-sided hardware used for the three main pivot points allows for easy access to your high-quality Enduro Max bearings simply with standard tools. No more removing the crankset to tighten or service your pivots.

ANGLE OF ATTACK Larger wheels decrease your angle of attack by allowing you to roll over obstacles easier and faster.

Bigger wheel = smaller obstacle.

MOMENTUM A larger wheel enables one to carry momentum easier though obstacles.

SURFACE CONTACT 29”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 STABILITY The 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.

TIRE CLEARANCE with more tire choices than any platform, the 29”wheel easily accommodates off road as well as commuting tires.

TALLER RIDERS 29” bikes tend to offer taller riders a more “natural” frame geometry.

Another chapter in the Chronicles of Gnarnia, the 2012 DIAMONDBACK SCAPEGOAT shares many of the pedalefficient characteristics of the MISSION series and adds a little extra travel and reinforcement for a burly rip down the line of your choice. With 180mm of plush Fox travel up front, the headtube angle sits at a hill shredding 66 degrees. A 160mm rear keeps the riding plush without too much sacrifice on the pedal uphill. A reinforced downtube ensures a stable platform regardless of how big you go.

Make no mistake; the 2012 SCAPEGOAT is built for the biggest and baddest of the bunch. Choose your weapons wisely.

Back in the mid 90’s, Diamondback introduced the world to the OVERDRIVE… a mountain bike with 29 inch wheels and custom made Panaracer Smoke Tires. We were the first company in the industry to introduce the 29er to the market and now, years later; it’s carved a niche for itself amongst a slew of other big wheeled machines.

These big hooped machines are taking over our mountains, trails and paths. With benefits such as more stability, added surface contact, and the ability to more easily roll over rocks, roots and logs, they offer performance enhancing benefits in a multitude of scenarios.
