Diamondback Release Suspension Figures: 130 mm Rear and 140 mm Front
Diamondback Release suspension figures describe separate front and rear systems in the saved Release 29 3 specification. The frame has 130 mm of Level Link rear travel; the Fox fork has 140 mm. The rear shock's 200x57 mm label is another kind of measurement and should not replace either travel figure.
Diamondback Release suspension figures at each end
Diamondback calls the frame a 130 mm Level Link suspension platform. The fork row names Fox 34 Performance Float, for a twenty-nine-inch wheel, with 140 mm travel. Keep the location beside the number when comparing descriptions: “140 mm fork” is clearer than calling the complete bicycle simply “140 mm.”
The front fork entry also specifies a Grip three-position damper and rebound adjustment. These identify published features. They do not supply pressures, control positions or a setup that has been tested for a particular rider.
Why the shock dimensions need their own line
The rear-shock row names Fox Performance Elite Float DPS, with LV EVOL and a three-position lever. It separately gives 200x57 mm and 22.2 mm eyelet width. A useful equipment record retains the whole row, rather than copying one number into a box labelled rear wheel travel.
The source does not provide a complete replacement-shock assessment. Its dimensions and names are identification evidence, not permission to install any unit sharing part of that description. Nor can an external catalogue row establish what has been changed inside a used suspension component.
Use the numbers to clarify a conversation
The local Diamondback Release 29 3 Bike is the named model reference. If an advert mentions a different travel figure, ask whether it describes the fork, rear wheel movement or a replacement part. First resolve what the number refers to, then investigate why the accounts differ.
For setup help, provide the confirmed fork and shock identities and describe which end concerns you. The saved specification cannot determine a spring pressure, damping choice or mechanical condition. A specialist needs the actual units and their applicable instructions.
This article interprets a saved published manufacturer page, with its specifications-subject-to-change notice. It makes no current-configuration or manufacturing-year claim. The historical drivetrain detail is brand context; it does not depict the specified Fox units or demonstrate a serviceable bicycle.

FAQ
Are the front and rear travel figures the same?
No. The saved list gives 140 mm at the fork and 130 mm for the rear suspension platform.
Is 200x57 mm another rear wheel travel claim?
No. It appears in the rear-shock specification, separately from the frame's travel entry.
Does the page prescribe a suspension setting?
No. The named adjustments and dimensions do not provide an individual setup or replace the installed units' instructions.
