Duration Product Used:
2 Years
Price Paid:
$500.00
Purchased At:
local bike shop
Strengths:
The parts are dope!, Love the tripple wall rims, great breakng power. been like 20 feet in the air, huge gaps, hard grinds, long hard sessions and only replaced about 3 minor parts (seat clamp n post) and that was just for personal pref.
Weaknesses:
handle bars too wide with bad sweep, bike heavy but like all have said, absolutely indestructible
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
changed break system to straight line instead of gyro cause i dont do much barspining and put on street tires, seat set up, shaved handlebars and pegs for weight reduction.
Bottom Line:
definately one of the better bikes ive bought, would not buy as first bike. Best parts package ever on a diamondback by far. Premium bike but not for little tykes lol

Strengths:
The cranks are awesome, I like the smaller sprocket for faster accelleration, the body strangth of the bike is really there. Nice headset, I like the idea of the sealed berrings, and the way they pop out easy for convient replacement. It is just an overall nice bike for the $.
Weaknesses:
There is not really alot of weeknesses but the bike is a little too heavy.

Bike Setup:
It is nice!!!!!!!!! You can easly change the drive train arround to protect the sprocket from grinds. and the bike just has some really nice parts!!!!
Bottom Line:
it is just an overall nice bike with some really nice parts espically the cranks. The only problem is that the bike is a little heavy.
