Black Diamond


Black Diamond Freeride

Superstar freerider Steve Romaniauk has been aboard a Black Diamond on Rip.TV’s Drop In series. The rear dropouts are now simpler and make for a frame that’s cheaper to repair in case of a derailleur-mangling incident. Marzocchi coil-sprung suspension is found at both ends.
