Diamondback 2013 Recoil Comp 29'er Full Suspension Mountain Bike with 29-Inch Wheels review and best price

Diamondback 2013 Recoil Comp 29'er Full Suspension Mountain Bike with 29-Inch Wheels description

What is a Recoil? The dictionary defines recoil as "to spring or come back; react." The Diamondback Recoil takes that definition to heart. Whether it is flying down the wide open trail or making its way through twisty tight single track, the Recoil Comp will react to what is under its tires and then spring back and be ready to take on what comes next.

The Recoil Comp 29 is the perfect beginner bike for those just getting into aggressive riding or those who are looking for an entry level full suspension rig. Similar to its less expensive brethren, the Recoil, it was built with a solid platform in mind and is fully upgradeable should you so choose to step up your component package to the next level.

The foundation for this is firmly laid with an all-new 6061 T-6 Aluminum Trail frame sporting 4" of travel via the RockShox Monarch R air rear shock (more on this later). The frame uses a machine formed top tube and a butted and formed down tube sharing tubing from our nicer Sortie series. It uses a sealed cartridge bearing pivot and is built around an optimized single pivot design which is the simplest type of rear suspension because there are few moving parts. It consists of a pivot just above the bottom bracket, slightly up on the down tube and a single swingarm to the rear axle. Being that the rear triangle directly attaches to the rear shock, the shock has a more linear spring rate and offers good small bump compliance.

The newly designed aluminum frame is not the only improvement made to the 2013 Diamondback Recoil Comp 29. We've added a RockShox Monarch air rear shock to compliment the SR Suntour XCR RL fork which has 100mm of travel, rebound dampening adjust and a remote lock out. The remote lock out is a nice feature usually found on higher end forks. It allows the rider to limit the travel to enhance your climbing experience.

Diamondback 2013 Podium 1 Road Bike with 700c Wheels review and best price

Diamondback 2013 Podium 1 Road Bike with 700c Wheels description

*Enhanced Performance Geometry* The right fit for Endurance/Performance riders, Enhanced Performance Geometry (EPG) retains all the handling, geometry and ride characteristics of our carbon Competition platform, with a slightly higher head tube height to put less strain on a rider’s back and neck. This improves the fit for riders with marginally less pelvic rotation and core stability. The EPG’s higher head tube is the right way to get many riders in the right place. No goofy high-rise stems, no huge stack of spacers. The look is nothing but pro. Made of lightweight DBR custom butted 7005 Aluminum; these frames are constructed using state of the art tube shaping to enhance specific areas of the frame for optimum performance and compliance including a formed top tube. The wheel base has also been increased just enough to provide a smooth stable ride. The Podium 1 boasts a drop in headset and an alloy fork with an alloy steertube. The 2013 Podium 1 is outfitted with more budget conscious components to create the perfect entry level road bike starting with a blend of Shimano components including 2300 dual control shifters/brake levers, and front derailleur, an HG50 8spd cassette, and a Sora rear derailleur. Stopping power comes courtesy of Tektro R312A dual pivot brakes and FSA gets a nod for the Tempo Triple crankset which sports a 52, 42 and a 30t chainring. Equation SE wheels offer a quick and lightweight riding experience and are laced to alloy hubs. Steering is precise and comfortable due to the DBR drop bar and forged stem while you’ll pedal with ease while sitting on the Performance road saddle and post. The 2013 Podium 1 serves up the perfect balance of performance, quality, and value. The Podium 1 is silver and comes in sizes: 50cm, 52cm, 54cm, 56cm, 58cm, 60cm. Quite simply, there's no better way to find your place atop the podium.

Diamondback 2013 Response Mountain Bike with 26-Inch Wheels review and discount

Diamondback 2013 Response Mountain Bike with 26-Inch Wheels description

Whether you are new to the trails or a seasoned singletrack rider, the Response series offers uncompromised performance without compromising your bank account. Compared to a full-suspension mountain bike, a hardtail is better suited to several situations, such as riding to class, buffed-out trails, or just cruising around the neighborhood. Combining the perfect blend of hardtail performance with rugged utility, the Diamondback Response is a value oriented build ready for any new rider or common-sense lover. At the heart of each Response is our rugged Diamondback 6061-T6 aluminum frame with formed top and down tubes providing strength and style with clean lines. A machined headtube adds strength and style while forged drop outs with a replaceable hanger add the finer touches. The components provide more proof of our commitment to providing you with the most appropriate package and value for your money. A SR Suntour XCT 100mm travel fork soaks up bumps large and small, without being overkill. Also on deck is a set of Tektro Alloy Linear Pull brakes which are a light and simple solution to stopping your rig on a dime. 32h Weinmann MX260R Double wall rims laced to 32h MX260H alloy hubs combine to make a durable and long lasting wheelset. The tough alloy arm crank set (24/32/42t) is a good match for the Shimano TX50 front derailleur, the Shimano Altus 7spd rear derailleur and Shimano HG20 7spd Cassette (12-28t). This combo provides more than enough gearing options to get you where you want to go when you want to go there. Diamondbacks signature alloy SL318s stem and riser bar create the perfect cockpit while the SL309p Alloy Micro Adjust 30.9mm post and DB low profile All Mountain saddle ensure that you can pedal all day long. The Response is red and is available in XS (14"), SM (16"), MD (18"), LG (20"), XL (22"). If a solid, reliable, and affordable all-purpose mountain bike is what you’re after; a Response is the obvious choice.

Diamondback 2013 Trace Dual Sport Bike with 700c Wheels review and discount

Diamondback 2013 Trace Dual Sport Bike with 700c Wheels description

Purchasing the right off-road bike or commuting bike can be difficult, especially if the terrain you need to cover requires performance on various road surfaces. Enter Diamondback’s Trace Series Dual Sport bike. With mountain bike-like geometry and the efficiency of larger 700c diameter wheels, these bikes are ready for anything from pavement to gravel and back again. Semi-knobby tires give you the traction you need on dirt and rocks yet roll faster than traditional knobbies. The Trace is our entry level model in the Trace Series. All Traces feature a 6061-T6 Butted Aluminum Dual Sport Frame with formed top and downtubes, forged drop outs, and an integrated chainstay disc brake mount. The component assortment for the Trace is well suited for the entry level or budget conscious rider while not sacrificing on quality. The Dual Sport fork dampens vibrations and hits from the ground, keeping your hands from getting numb as you maintain control on tricky surfaces. SR Suntour also provides a great crankset option with the XCT model featuring a chainguard and 28/38/48t rings. Drivetrain comes courtesy of a blend of Shimano goods including TX51 dual pull front derailleur, an Altus rear derailleur, Shimano EF-51 Easyfire 7spd shifters, and a Shimano HG-20 (12-32t) 7spd cassette. The wheels are a critical part of any dual sport bicycle. For the Trace we made no exceptions and spec’d this bad boy with 32h Weinmann SL-7 Doublewall rims laced to SL-7 Alloy hubs. Innova DualSport 700x40c tires are wide enough for the dirt and have a semi slick tread for variable conditions. Tektro Novela mechanical discs handle the stopping duties very well, with 6” rotors.

Diamondback 2013 Men's Wildwood Citi Classic Sport Comfort Bike with 26-Inch Wheels description

Wildwood Citi Classic comfort bikes provide you with all the comfort you need (and even sneak in a little exercise without you noticing). If you’re intimidated by the thought of getting back on a bike, or you think you just wouldn’t be able to ride one for any reason; don’t settle for the stationary model before you try out a Wildwood. For casual rides around the neighborhood, the camp site, or strolls up and down the bike path, there just isn’t a better bike than a Serene Citi Classic. The heart of the Wildwood Citi Classic is the DB Hi-Ten Remington Steel Comfort Geometry which offers a low standover height making getting on and off the bike a breeze. We’ve also added a Comfort Suspension 45mm travel fork to smooth out your ride at every turn. Comfort Compact cranks with a chainguard and 22/32/42t rings make pedaling easy and efficient. A blend of Shimano components including rear derailleur, rear cogs and 7spd twist shifters afford comfortable, easy and precision shifting to guarantee a safe and enjoyable ride.

Diamondback 2013 Overdrive 29'er Mountain Bike with 29-Inch Wheels review and best price

Diamondback 2013 Overdrive 29'er Mountain Bike with 29-Inch Wheels description

Best uses for the Overdrive: Cross country mountain bike riding on beginner to intermediate singletrack trails, gravel or dirt roads & paths, paved roads and commuting.

The Diamondback Overdrive is a mountain bike which features:

• A high quality, lightweight aluminum frame.
• 29" wheels for getting over obstacles easier.
• •A suspension fork and disc brakes for a more comfortable ride and superior stopping power.

Key features of the Diamondback Overdrive:

29" Wheels:

• Obstacle Roll Over – Larger wheels decrease your angle of attack meaning the wheels roll over trail obstacles with less impact, reducing fatigue and smoothing out the trail. Bigger wheel = smaller obstacle.
• Momentum – A larger wheel diameter means better momentum once rolling and faster rolling over obstacles and open terrain.
• Surface Contact – 29"wheels are less prone to sinking in soft material such as sand and mud due to the larger contact patch causing lower ground pressure. The longer contact patch increases cornering and straight line traction.
• Stability – The relative position of the bottom bracket/cranks to the axles in the wheels also means that your relative center of gravity is lower. This results in a feeling of riding "in" the bike rather than on top of it.
• Tire Clearance – with more tire choices than any platform, the 29"wheel easily accommodates off road as well as commuting tires.

Frame: The Overdrive features a butted 6061-T6 aluminum frame. 6061 aluminum is airplane grade aluminum while T6 refers to a heat treating process that creates extra strength in the metal. The butting process lets the thickness of the frame tubes be varied; putting more material at stress points for added strength, and less material at non-stress points for weight savings. The final result is a sturdy frame that weighs less than steel and many other aluminum frames on the market. Less weight means it takes less energy to move the bike.

Fork: Suspension forks compresses over bumps to help absorb shock meaning less jarring and body stress to the rider and resulting in less arm fatigue while riding. When it comes to shock absorption the Suntour 100mm/4” travel fork found on the Overdrive will give you enough compression for getting over roots, rocks, and pesky potholes in comfort.

Mechanical Disc Brakes: Mechanical disc brakes have better stopping power than rim brakes in a wide range of conditions, especially the wet and mud.

24-speed Drivetrain: With 3 chainrings to choose from on the crank (front) and 8 cogs to choose from on the cassette (back) you get to choose from 24 different gear combinations in order to get you where you need to go.

The 2013 Overdrive a fantastic entry level hardtail 29er for those looking for a great balance between value and performance. If the Overdrive is not quite the right 29’er for you please look at the other bikes in Diamondback’s hardtail 29’er family below.
