Coming soon from the Diamondback Bicycles crew are the new Mission Carbon 1 and Mission Carbon 2 all-mountain bikes. Both seem to be well spec’d, affordable long-travel full-suspension rigs, with the Mission 1 coming in at a surprising sub $5k!

Check out some of the deets from Diamondbacks below!

Diamondback Mission Carbon 1

Mmmm, love the tasty Olive Matte on the Mission 1.

Level Link suspension on both Mission 1 & 2 gives you 160mm of rear wheel travel joining the monocoque carbon front & rear triangles with forged aluminum rocker links. Add long 180mm travel forks to smash any terrain.

The Mission 1 sports a burly Truvativ Descendant 6K crankset with a nice direct mount Eagle chainring.

SRAM GX Eagle mechanical drivetrain on the Mission 1 is hard to argue with.

Diamondback says:  “The Mission is back with even better bump-eating updates. The Mission Carbon 1 has 180mm of travel up front and 160mm in the back. It has a carbon monocoque frame with a Marzocchi Bomber CR coil shock. The Mission 1C also comes equipped with a Marzocchi Bomber Z1 fork, SRAM Code R hydraulic brakes, and a SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain. Tubeless-Ready 27.5″ x 2.4″ tires mounted to Blanchard rims allow you to convert to a tubeless setup.”

The $4525 Mission Carbon 1 comes in one color, Dark Olive Matte, and in three sizes S-L to fit riders 5’4″ to 6’2″.

You get the even more burly Truvativ Descendant DH crankset when you step up to the Mission 2.

Looks fast in red!

The Mission 2 has a Fox 38 Performance fork handling the big hits up front. Man, that thing looks long!

A mechanical SRAM X01 Eagle drivetrain puts the power down on the Mission 2.

According to Diamondback: “The Mission Carbon 2 is longer, lower, and slacker. With 180mm of travel up front and 160mm in the back. The Mission 2C comes equipped with a Fox 38 Performance fork up front and a Fox Float X2 Performance shock for the rear. It stops using SRAM Code RSC brakes. The drivetrain is the SRAM X01 Eagle. The Mission Carbon 2 is also equipped with 27.5″ tubeless-ready, 2.4″ tires with wheels in the form of the Race Face ARC rims.”

The $6100 Mission Carbon 2 also comes in one color, Red, and in the same three sizes (S-L). Plus, Diamondback offer free shipping on all bikes over $349.

I like how $4200 and $6100 are labeled “affordable now. I guess us working class jerks can stay the hell out of the woods, eh? The people that built this scene?

GTFOH.

It’s not an X01 drivetrain if the chain, cassette, and crank (can’t see the shifter) are all GX.
