Diamondback mountain bikes

Once a mainstay of the American mid-market, now effectively dormant: we could not find a purchasable new US mountain bike this cycle. It stays listed here because the used market is full of them and a secondhand Release is still a lot of bike for the money. Buying new is not currently an option.

Is a Diamondback the right bike for you?

Brand loyalty is a fine starting point and a bad finishing point. Answer 14 questions and the quiz ranks every bike here against 701 others by how you actually ride. Take the quiz →

How this page works

Prices are US MSRP from a 2026 snapshot of the database that powers our quiz, maintained by hand. The takes on this page are mine, sharpened by the riders I trust. Diamondback pays nothing to appear here and cannot pay to rank higher - here is how we make money. Confirm current pricing on the brand's own site before you buy, and see every bike we rank for the full database.
