from Cleveland, Ohio Date Reviewed: December 26, 2007 Strengths: Size and Price. Excellent specs: 6 speed rear, 6061 aluminum frame, shock, great brakes for under $200. A lot of adjustability, especially the handlebar stem. Weaknesses: Better gearing (see my review below from 5/16/06). This bike is marketed as an off road bike for small kids. It is too hard/fast in 6th gear and not enough power in 1st. I even talked to Diamondback about this. On my daughters bike I did replace the front sprocket, but since I did not want to mess with the chain length, I only went down a few teeth, which probably only helped a little. Could go down a few more. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Rising Valley (closed) Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $170.00 Purchased At: Geigers Ski Sport Haus Similar Products Used: I love this bike so much, I bought another ('07 model) for my son, who just turned 7. My daughter, who is now 9, really hammers this bike ('06 model) off road. Bike Setup: Son's is stock, Daughter's has a smaller front sprocket.

from cleveland, OH, USA Date Reviewed: May 16, 2006 Strengths: Great size for my 7 yr old daughter. Excellent specs: 6 speed rear, 6061 frame, shock, great brakes for under $200. A lot of adjustability. Weaknesses: My daughter has trouble in 1st gear especially on hills and never goes into 6th (it would be very fast). Therefore needs better gearing, could use a smaller front sprocket by at least a few teeth. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Rising Valley Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $152.00 Purchased At: Dick's Similar Products Used: Looked at others including Kawasaki and Jeep. But for the money this seemed to be the best. Bike Setup: Stock for now.
