There was a time when a sub-$1000 mountain bike of any configuration was either wishful thinking or a bloated department store clunker disguised to look like a real off-road bicycle. If there is one good thing to be said for economy of scale, it’s that mountain bikes have been becoming steadily more affordable and these days a well spec’ed hardtail can be yours for just such an initial investment.

a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: April 2, 2013 Strengths: This bike is great for the price. It climbs well and will pretty much roll over anything on the trail. It's quick and grips the trail on those fast turns. I took a gamble purchasing this bike because I have only heard bad things about Diamondbacks but I must say, I am very pleased with this bike. I have been riding trails for about 3 years and I am finally comfortable and confident. This bike has boosted my time and performance. You can waste your money on one of those big fancy Specialized bikes or save a grand and buy the Overdrive Comp and make a few minor upgrades. Weaknesses: pedals and headset Handlebars are so wide, you will clip almost every tree on a narrow trail. I changed them after the first ride. The breaks can be a bit noisy. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Double Lakes - ColdSprings, Tx Duration Product Used: 6m Price Paid: $755.00 Purchased At: Pedlers - Austin, Tx

from Santa Fe, New Mexico, U.S.A. Date Reviewed: January 2, 2012 Strengths: Components are really stout, not used to SRAM but they are shift well and accurate. Weight on the bike was not as bad as I expected it to be. Gearing is wonderful with a SRAM 3X10 its all you need. Matt Silver is a nice look on the 2012 version. THought it had a clear to it but it is a mat silver, very nice. The WTB Wolverine 2.2 are very wide and get the job done quite nice. Lifetime frame replacement is a plus. Weaknesses: INTEGRATED HEADSET! Not a fan of these because of the problems that usually come with them, but my first 29er I'll deal with it. Saddle is a bit stiff. Pedals are terrible but that is an easy replacement. DB Customer service is also terrible, so beware. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Windsor, Pecos Nat Forrest Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $489.00 Purchased At: EBay Similar Products Used: I know these are FS but, Trek Rumblefish and Superfly 100. Bike Setup: Took off Rockshox XC32 and installed Rockshox Recon Gold. Cane Creek integrated headset, easton stem and bars.
