Diamondback Scapegoat Mountain Bike Frame - Lightweight Aluminum MTB Frame for Trail & All-Mountain Riding - Perfect for Off-Road Adventures & Technical Terrain

Product Description

Want the stability and ruggedness of a downhill bike with the agility and playfulness of an all mountain machine? Look no further than the 2012 Diamondback Scapegoat frameset. The 2012 Scapegoat shares many of the pedal-efficient characteristics of the Diamondback Mission series and adds a little extra travel and reinforcement for a burly rip down the line of your choice. Diamondback's Design Philosophy is a no-nonsense approach to building quality bicycles. We want our bike designs to be straightforward: their hardware accessible and their suspension simple. The 2012 Scapegaot 6" frame is created from 6061-T6 Weapons Grade Aluminum and features a hydroformed top tube, a butted and formed downtube, seatstays, seatstay bridge, a tapered headtube, ISCG 05 tabs, a 142×12mm E-Thru Axle drop out and Diamondbacks legendary Knuckle Box Suspension technology. The Knuckle Box, or bell crank, is the core of our single-pivot four-bar suspension platform. Optimally placed pivots equate to a low leverage ratio, and ultimately to superior pedaling efficiency and small-bump compliance. This allows the shock to work more efficiently and reduces pedal induced motion. It also reduces overall load on the system which will lead to improved shock and bearing life. Placing the Knuckle Box low within the frame, situates the greatest weight of the bike closer to the bottom bracket, which lowers the bike's center of gravity and allows it to better track and corner.
