Stocks of the new Diamondback Sabbath gear box DH bike have just arrived in the UK.

Some say gear boxed bikes are the future of downhill riding, among them the product team at Diamondback UK who have been working with testers and engineering partners for 19 months to deliver the first production gear box bike to the British market.

The lightweight fully enclosed 7-speed gear system is linked to Diamondback’s 7005 hydro formed and CNC machined frameset. With its low centre of gravity and over 8” of travel, this bike is designed to soak up the terrain and stay planted in the most extreme conditions.

The suggested retail price for the complete bike is £4850 while that for the frame kit only is £2750.
