Never ridden a Diamondback bike? Want to test their new range? Our Demo Day Series is just the thing you need. If you want to see what Diamondback have to offer, then find your nearest Demo Day venue (see below) and join us for a great day’s riding.

Diamond Back’s Sabbath downhill bike will be the star of the Diamondback show at the Demo Days, and with two on offer to ride it’ll be the first time the pre-production models have been available for the general public to have a blast on. For more information on the Sabbath click here.

The new DBR cross country race bikes will also be available to test. Made using Diamond Back’s new e1 alloy race frame with two levels of spec and a women’s specific model, there’s something for everyone.

There’ll also be the new and improved XSL bikes including the XSL Elite, which has had a full RockShox makeover but still retains its XT groupset and WTB finishing kit.
