Diamondback Catch 2

There are many ways to tackle tough terrain. You can, for instance, add lots of suspension travel to a bike. There’s nothing wrong with that approach, but the Catch 2 takes a different tack. By combining our brisk-pedaling Level Link suspension with modern geometry and wide, plus-size tires, we’ve created a bike that possesses the playful personality of a sporty, mid-travel bike with the traction and control of a bike that packs much more suspension travel. The Catch’s aluminum frame features carefully hydroformed tubes for reliable durability and light weight. This top-tier Catch also wears an equally impressive component mix that includes a Shimano SLX 1×12 drivetrain paired with Shimano cranks, a Fox Rhythm 34 suspension fork, Shimano SLX hydraulic disc brakes, and a KS E30i dropper post. Sand, mud, rock gardens, kitty litter over hardpack … the Catch is a blast when exploring the trails less traveled.
