Diamondback says
A durable trail bike that can take the hits, get you up over and down with a grin from ear to ear. The new one piece CNC d swing arm yoke provides extra weight savings but offers massive strength and torsion rigidity, coupled with the simple, dependable and easy maintenance single pivot design this 5 All Mountain rig will give you a lot to smile about.The XSL Comp adds to the new frame with Rock Shox Tora 302 Solo air forks up front and the reliable Monarch 2.1 air shock out back. Shimano s new SLX groupset and Quad Sting Pro brakes also feature on this highly spec d bike.
