It may seem shocking to some, but there are still several situations where you’re better off on a hardtail than a full-suspension mountain bike, such as when riding to class, dirt jumping, riding on smoother trails, or just cruising around the neighborhood. Enter the Diamondback Response Sport mountain bike, which combines the perfect blend of hardtail performance with rugged utility. The Response Sport–which shares the same frame and several of the components of the pricier Response Comp–is equipped with an aluminum all-mountain hardtail frame with a strongbox top tube, a Spinner Edge 120mm suspension fork, eight-speed trigger shifters, Kenda Klaw XT 2.0 tires, and a WTB Pure V sport saddle. The Response Sport also offers several upgrades from the base-model Response, including an SRAM ISO-Flow crank set with replaceable chain rings, Hayes mechanical disc brakes, and Weinmann double-wall rims. Specifications:Sizes: Extra-small (14 inches), small (16 inches), medium (18 inches), large (20 inches), and extra-large (22 inches) Frame: DB 6061-T6 aluminum with hooded strongbox top tube, formed down tube, DB snake stays, replaceable hanger, water bottle mounts Fork: Spinner Edge AL-1, 120mm travel, 30mm stanchions Cranks: Tru-Vativ ISO-Flow 3.0 with replaceable rings, 22/32/42t The Response Sport comes in two colors: gloss white and gloss dirty blue.Bottom bracket: Sealed cartridge Front derailleur: Microshift M20 Rear derailleur: SRAM X-4 Shifter: SRAM X-4 8-spe (more…)
