DBR engineers designed the 1998 Diamond Back V-Link 1.2 to break barriers-not bank accounts. Our most affordable long-travel V-Link MTB features a handcrafted frame like its sophisticated stable mates, plus a race-proven Manitou Spyder fork and STX cranks with a genuine Shimano cartridge bottom bracket. The V-Link 1.2 rolls on WTB Speedmaster rims with CNC-machined side sections for better braking modulation and speed control. Big pedal cages with rugged Avenir toe clips and straps make climbing aboard the V-Link 1.2 easy.
World-class downhillers prefer the performance of coil-spring suspension over low-tech elastomers. The StrataSport shock on the V-Link 1.2 features adjustable spring preload for easy fine-tuning.
Sram—makers of the legendary Grip Shift system-challenged the bike industry's status quo with their innovative rear derailleur technology. The 24-speed ESP 7.0 is a rugged workhorse, especially in adverse conditions.
