Diamondback Hits the Scene

Fresh off the truck here in Boulder is a line of Diamondback Mountain Bikes just in time for Spring. We have brought in a few select models at unbelievable prices including the Mission, Overdrive Pro and Sortie. These 2008 and 2009 models are priced so low, you couldn't buy the parts kits for the sale price. We know, this might sound like an advertisement about how we have the best bikes at the best prices anywhere in the world (plug: www.rscycle.com), but seriously, we are wicked stoked on these new Diamondbacks.

Diamondback is a company moving to the forefront of the industry with high quality frames, top of the line parts, competitive prices, and a great performing suspension design called the Knucklebox. This revolutionary suspension optimizes wheel rate and axel path while effectively lowering the bike's center of gravity for an unparalleled ride up or down any mountain. Basically it's so badass that Chuck Norris... never mind, I'm sure you've heard that one. Anyway, we have been working very closely with Diamondback in the past few weeks to secure these bikes at a price that enables us to pass the savings along to you. We hope you enjoy!

Let's take a closer look at the Mission, Overdrive Pro and the Sortie.

The Mission is Diamonback's all mountain, singletrack, root-hopping slayer. With three different models available to meet any price range, this will be tough to beat. With the top of the line coming spec'd with a Rock Shox Pike 454, Shimano XT cranks, brakes, shifter, and derailleur, you know you'll be destined for singletrack greatness.

The Overdrive is spec'd with a great build, but the biggest surprise is the price. At only $799 you get a Rock Shox fork, SRAM rear derailleur, Avid mechanical disc brakes, and WTB tires. This is truly a bargain for a bike that is ready to roll over any and everything in your path.

Last but certainly not least is the Sortie. Also available in a variety of price points and build levels, the Sortie is DiamondBacks XC/Trail bike. Offering slightly shorter travel than the Mission (4 inches vs. 6 inches), this bike will still attack the trails, regardless of your mission on the dirt.
