Contact Details PAGE 3 DIAMONDBACK MOUNTAIN BIKE / 2015 Join us on the edge Camarillo, California. 1978. That’s when it started. That’s when we started to defy convention. To change the humble bike to suit our passions, to suit those sweet lines down the mountain and to suit that epic jump. 1978 is when dared to be different, to seek out the knife edge and find a very exciting place to exist. We’ve been in that place for over 35 years. A lifetime of honing, developing and innovating. Precision, durability and integrity are the values we set out with and, whichever style of bike we’ve turned our hand to, they’ve remained at the core of the company ever since. That ethos informs each and every one of our product decisions and is ingrained in each and every one of the riders representing Diamondback. Why though? Why do we believe in the importance of those words? Because we love riding bikes and pushing those bikes and our bodies to their limits. Advancing technology and advancing human endeavors. And being true to the guiding principles of creating the most advanced products possible, the most accurate products possible, and the most fun products possible allows you to achieve great things on our bikes. PAGE 4 PAGE 5 DIAMONDBACK ALL MOUNTAIN 27.5” / 2015 ALL MOUNTAIN EQUIPPED For us riders here in Europe, we needed a 27.5” hard tail offering that was a little bit more capable. TAPERED HEAD TUBE Enter the Myers all mountain hard tail. This rig is slack and low slung - meant for today’s shredder who wants to pedal up but charge down with aggressiveness.Running long travel forks places extra stress on the head tube, to combat this we use a tapered head tube, with 1.5” bearings on the lower cup and 11/8” on the upper to keep the weight down. Keeping the rear end stiff and making it a breeze to change the rear wheel fast, all Myer’s models feature a 142x12mm rear axle. Combined with this, we’ve also built a replaceable derailleur hanger into the dropout. We’ve dropped the chain stays to be lower in position, which avoids chain slap on rugged descents, and prevents DROP STAYS the chain from damaging the chain stay material, and possibly the chain itself. All Myers frames are equipped with the facility to run a stealth dropper post, extra guides are positioned under the down tube and a cable opening placed strategically on the back of the seat tube. Although 1x drive is be coming more popular, some riders still prefer to run traditional chain guides, so to accommodate this we’ve STEALTH DROPPER POST included ISCG5 mounts on all Myers as standard. 142 X 12MM THRU AXLE PAGE 6 PAGE 7 DIAMONDBACK ALL MOUNTAIN HARDTAIL 27.5” / 2015 ALL OR NOTHING The Myers 3.0 all mountain 27.5” hardtail is the gravity oriented all mountain rider’s dream machine.

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 142 x 12mm thru axle that we always remain true to our core values. Diamondback’s carbon Lumis series is one example. It offers breathtaking aesthetics married with exceptional performance. For 2015, through months of testing, analysis and design, we’ve developed a platform for the finest riders 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. The Diamondback Lumis series frame is handmade using our Advanced Carbon Monocoque Design process (ACMD). ACMD ensures that each piece of carbon ply is laid precisely where our carbon dropout engineers want it, by using several different grades of material, layed in the right places, we have created a frame which is light but also stiff. An optimized resin compound is used to bind the carbon fibres 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 fibre separation and frame failure. Optimizing our resin-to-fibre ratio allows us to enhance our ratio of material weight-to-strength. The result is an exceptionally light weight, impact-resistant frame, the Lumis frame weighs in at just 1150g.
