The Diamondback Yowie is a new short-travel trail bike that’s designed to offer XC performance in a value-oriented package. The Yowie has 130/110mm of travel front and rear, and while Diamondback isn’t calling it a downcountry bike, the specs suggest it’s meant for riding more than just cross-country trails.
Naturally the Yowie features 29er wheels and there are builds based around either a carbon fiber or aluminum frame. The 67° head tube angle is paired with a 75° seat angle and 435mm chainstays so the geometry promises good climbing capabilities and also maneuverability on technical trails.
The Yowie utilizes Diamondback’s Level Link suspension design, which the brand says minimizes pedaling forces on the system. The lower link is designed to stay “in line” with the chain throughout its compression while the upper link is perpendicular to the lower link at the sag point.
The Diamondback Yowie will be available for purchase through Diamondback retailers beginning this summer. We’ll add more information once it becomes available.
