2007
Introducing the 2007 line of Diamondback / DBR bicycles.
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year since we introduced our 2006 line of Diamondback / DBR bicycles. The time has been
short, but we’ve made good use of it by improving upon existing models (that were already great to begin with) and by coming up with
some incredible new ones too. Bikes for specic purposes and places, for people like you - with specic needs and desires.
We welcome you now to take a look at our 2007 line. You’ll see that each model is a statement of our commitment to our customers
– bicycle riders of all types and ages who are serious about riding, making the most of life and having fun. Whether you’re a rider who
enjoys stopping to smell the owers or you prefer jumping over them or riding past them so quickly they become nothing more than a
streak of color in your peripheral vision, there’s a good chance we’ve got the right bike for you within the following pages.

All Mountain
It is with great pride that we introduce the all new Mission. The Mis-
sion is a bike that puts the ‘all’ in ‘all mountain’ and the ‘mountain’
back in ‘mountain bike’. It is an incredibly versatile, nimble, ef cient
and stable all-mountain bike with 6 silky-smooth inches of terrain-
initiated travel. The Mission is a true all mountain bike with no bias
2
for type of mountain riding or direction it goes. Its ef cient Knuckle
Box suspension design coupled to a Fox shock allows it to climb like
a goat and descend with the same con dence and stability as its 6
inches of travel come to life. Its extremely low center of gravity make it
very stable. Whether it’s creeping through the most technical section
on the trail, climbing or railing wide open through owy single track
– the Mission is one bike that does it all. The Mission is a three bike
series that are all built on the same lightweight, ef cient, and torsion-
ally rigid frame platform. They all suit your all-mountain riding needs;
nd the one that also suits your budget and let the good times roll.

The Diamondback Mission
For the Diamondback Design Team, MISSION was more than a
model name – they were literally on a “mission” to create a new
dual-suspension design that would put Diamondback back at the
forefront of mountain bike design – MISSION accomplished!
At the heart of the new MISSION is the Knuckle Box bell-crank. With
its compact design and welded uni-body construction, the Knuckle
Box ties the rear suspension together, cradles and guards the FOX
air suspension unit while providing a smooth near-linear leverage ra-
tio through the entire six inches of travel. It also gives the MISSION a
lower center of gravity than most all-mountain designs. The Knuckle
Box is truly the “heart” of the design.
If the Knuckle Box is the heart, then the MISSION’s front triangle is
the backbone. The low-slung “hooded” top tube wraps and rein-
forces the head tube and provides more stand over clearance, and
an uninterrupted seat tube that eliminates the need to cut seat posts
the MISSION front triangle is strong, light and stiff.
The MISSION’s rear end features chain stays joined with a CNC’d
yoke, a seat stay assembly reinforced with a unique inverse arch
bridge, and press t sealed bearings at all pivot locations. By joining
these assemblies to the MISSION front triangle and Knuckle Box, the
Diamondback Design Team has created a six-inch travel all-moun-
tain bike with a low center of gravity, plenty of stand over clearance,
and a ride quality that magazine test editors have described as
“awesome, nimble” and “just plain fun”! We couldn’t have said it
better ourselves.
