Diamondback Overdrive 29′er Mountain Bike (29-Inch Wheels)

Diamondback Overdrive 29'er Mountain Bike (29-Inch Wheels)

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 Overdrive 29er mountain bike, which boasts bigger wheels and even bigger value compared to most other bikes. The Overdrive is built using the same super-snappy and responsive aluminum frame found on the Overdrive Pro and comes equipped with smooth-operating components from Rock Shox, Hayes, SRAM, Shimano, Avenir, and WTB. The tires, meanwhile, measure an extra-large 29 inches, allowing riders to roll through and over obstacles with more confidence. Specific features include a Rock Shox Dart 3 100mm dual air fork, Hayes HMX-4 mechanical disc brakes, SRAM X.4 eight-speed trigger shifters, WTB Prowler SL 2.1 tires, and a WTB Speed V sport saddle. The bike that started the big-wheeled, off-road revolution 17 years ago, the Overdrive 29′er lets you enjoy cutting-edge oversized biking technology without bruising your bank account. The Overdrive 29er’s oversized 29-inch tires make it easier to ride up and over obstacles.Specifications:Sizes: Small (16 inches), medium (18 inches), large (20 inches), and extra-large (22 inches) Frame: Overdrive 29-inch butted 6061-T6 aluminum with formed top/down tube, integrated headtube, DB snake stays, replaceable hanger, and water bottle mounts Fork: Rock Sh (more…)

Diamondback Wildwood Men’s Comfort Bike (26-Inch Wheels)

Diamondback Wildwood Men's Comfort Bike (26-Inch Wheels)

Cruise around town in relaxed style with the Diamondback Wildwood men’s comfort bike. The Wildwood offers many of the same comforts and features as the Wildwood Deluxe, but with a more comfortable price tag. The Wildwood is equipped with a heat-treated aluminum frame with Laid Back Comfort (LBC) geometry, a 50mm comfort suspension fork, seven-speed twist shifters, and a DB comfort saddle with super-soft foam. It also offers a few upgrades from the Diamondback Wildwood Citi bike, including compact gearing, puncture-resistant tires, and Biologic dual-density comfort grips. Add the features together and you have a terrific bike for rides to the grocery store or casual commutes. About Diamondback’s LBC Geometry During the development of LBC Geometry, Diamondback engineers were faced with the challenge of making the comfort bike more comfortable and easier to use without compromising its handling and maneuverability. They started by tilting the seat tube back. Way back. This allows the rider to be seated further behind the bottom bracket and in a lower position, which not only makes for a more stable and comfortable ride, but also allows for full leg extension to the pedals. At the same time, the design still keeps the rider seated low enough on the bike that he or she can quickly and easily plant both feet firmly on the ground. The result is happier knees and much easier mounting and dismounting. Once the rider’s ideal position was determined, the engineers recogn (more…)

Diamondback Wildwood Deluxe Men's Comfort Bike (26-Inch Wheels)

You only live once, so get the most out of your time on the bike with the Diamondback Wildwood Deluxe men’s comfort bike. The top-of-the-line Wildwood Deluxe is loaded with all of the comforts of the original Wildwood, but adds such features as custom-formed frame tubes, a 63mm travel suspension fork, Shimano compact cranks, and a super-supple Avenir comfort seat with a dual-density base and memory foam. Add in the Wildwood’s original specs–which include a heat-treated aluminum frame with Laid Back Comfort (LBC) geometry and puncture-resistant tires–and you have a terrific bike for cruising around your beach town or casual commutes.

Diamondback Della Cruz 2 Women's Beach Cruiser Bike (26-Inch Wheels)

Despite all the innovation and advancements in bicycle technology, nothing beats sitting behind the broad, sweeping handlebars of a nice beach cruiser.

With the exception of the sleek hidden gear system, however, the bikes offer many of the same features, including a heat-treated aluminum frame, rustproof aluminum rims, and a Diamondback springer Cruiser saddle. Upgrades from the Della Cruz 1 include the seven-speed Shimano MegaRange drive train and the linear pull hand brakes.
