Specifications
Geometry
  • Level Link design equals 130mm of efficient yet supple rear suspension
  • Light and stiff carbon frame with Boost 148x12mm Maxle dropout
  • Fox 36 Factory Float suspension fork and Fox Factory Float DPS shock provide 150/130mm of top-tier suspension

  • SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain is durable and makes easy work of the steepest climbs with its ultra-wide gearing
You can’t have it all … Really? Nobody told that to the Release 5C. Our top-shelf trail bike is the embodiment of new-school technology. Thanks to our Level Link suspension, the Release 5 C absolutely levels the kind of drops and rock gardens that stymie bikes with even more suspension travel. At the same time, our patent-pending design allows the Release to accelerate and climb with the kind of blazing efficiency you’d normally expect from a wispy, featherweight race rig. The Release 5C, in a nutshell, is the perfect all-rounder. The bike’s performance geometry — long in the front, short in the rear, low in the bottom bracket —lends the bike stability at high speeds without sacrificing agility when the trails get tight. What’s more, we’ve decked this machine out with a peerless parts kit that includes the absolutely bomber Fox 36 Factory Float fork and Fox Factory Float DPS rear shock, an ultra-precise SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, a tubeless ready wheelset with e*thirteen LG1 EN rims and Novatec hubs, and quick-stopping SRAM G2 RS hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors. A KS Rage-I dropper post and Race Face cockpit components round out the stellar package.
