Diamondback Catch

“Adventure bikes” are often plodding beasts of burden that sacrifice thrills in the pursuit of extra stability. Well, where’s the adventure in that? Diamondback went a different route entirely. By adding 2.8” wide, plus-size tires to their Level Link suspension, they’ve created a bike that absolutely rips on tight trails, but does so with the extra grip and control of a plus-size bike. Voila — adventure made awesome. Diamondback gave the Catch a slack-but-not-too-slack front end. They wanted control on fast descents but weren’t willing to give up maneuverability on tight trails. A Shimano Deore 1x10-speed drivetrain gives you the gearing to tackle any terrain and TRP Slate X2 hydraulic disc brakes bring this machine to a tidy stop. If you’re looking to tackle rough terrain and want the ultimate in control, without sacrificing the thrill of riding, the Catch is your bike.
