Diamondback Sync’r Carbon coming soon
The soon-to-be-released Sync’r Carbon aims to put the fun back into riding a hardtail.
Count Diamondback among the bike makers embracing the “playful” hardtail market. Coming later this summer is the new Sync’r Carbon, which replaces the outgoing aluminum Sync’r Pro.
Headtube angle is a downhill friendly 66 degrees. But the 74-degree seat tube angle means it’ll still claw uphill with ease.
The primary difference, of course, is that the frame will be constructed from carbon, which will help shave significant weight. The playfulness comes from the inclusion of a 140mm Fox 34 fork, which will play nice with the 66-degree headtube angle and short 435mm chainstays. Seat tube angle is set at 74 degrees and the frame can handle 27.5+ or 29er wheel set-ups.
The matte black carbon frame will help keep weight low.
Final spec has yet to be set, but the matte black frame will likely come dressed with Diamondback house brand aluminum wheels and a SRAM GX Eagle 1×12 drivetrain. Expect price to fall in the $2200 to $2400 range (sold direct to consumer), and the bike will be part of the Diamondback Custom Studio where you can upgrade various parts to suit your budget and desires.
Diamondback ambassador Eric Porter approves.
