Head Target Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was nervous getting a bike on Amazon - I actually got a small frame for around 700 from amazon, not sure why, but the small one was discounted significantly...
Anyway, local bike shop tuned what I couldn't and this has been the best bike for off roading i've owned. Smooth, sure-footed and all around a great purchase.
Would recommend w/out hesitation...

Men's Forge Sawback 5xx Mountain Dirt Bike - Charcoal (19") Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start out by saying that this is my first review for any of the many purchases I have made through Amazon.com. I never write reviews, but for this purchase, I felt the need to spread my story.
I will list my opinions, observations and experiences with each major part of the bike. As for me, I just started trail riding, but have been working with bicycles my entire life. I used to be a hardcore BMX freestyle rider, and I always put the quality of a bike and its components, comfort, and dependability before anything else. (Safety is important as well, but IMO, if it meets those three, it will be safe :) )
Frame: Appearance wise, it looks really good. It is definitely a different color than most bikes on and off the road. Almost like a light navy gray. The paint has held up pretty good so far, although I am extremely rough on this bike. Its already got a few scratches and dings, but no chipping or anything horrible. The welds are perfect, and I mean perfect. I have seen many bikes in this price range, and no welds have looked this good. The frame is very rigid, it doesn't have any give when jumping a curb or random log. It has drilled and tapped holes for two water bottle mounts, and for a rear rack. Overall, I give the frame 9/10. Minus one point not having more size options, even though it's perfect for me (5'11").
Tires: The tires are great for off-road/trail use. They will work on pavement, but you will quickly notice a really loud roar. I have already gotten one flat tube, from a really tiny thorn. I wouldn't expect these to handle a whole bunch of abuse, but for the average trail and road rider, they are fine. The tread is about half way gone, but I have put about 500 miles, on and off road. I give the tires 6/10. Better than a Wal-Mart tire, but not the best.
Rims: Awesomeness. Very, very tough. I have given these rims hell, and they keep on spinning. Light and just the right amount of give. WTB rims are some of my favorites. 9/10. Hubs are on the smaller side, but so far, super awesome.
Brakes: Super awesomeness! The brakes work amazingly well, wet or dry, dusty or clean. No noise, until about a week ago. My front disk is starting to make some vibration noise, but I haven't looked into it yet. Might be time to tighten it up. I bought a $250 bike from Wal-Mart.com that had disk brakes, and Lord... they were soooooo annoying! A loud screech at every stop. These are pretty great for the money. 8/10. Super strong.
Drivetrain: Gears. Gears. Gears. Times nine, equals, 27! Math is fun... Gears are fun... This bike can climb some STEEP hills... With no effort... Sitting down. No slips, no grinds, came perfectly tuned, and I almost couldn't stop riding. The Shifters work great, but there are no numbers on the display. Just an arrow and some lines. They work well though. Buttery. Like a burnt piece of toast with ice cream and butter on top. Or, like a finely tuned bicycle. 9/10. Keep it oiled...
OVERALL: "This bike feels really tight, well-made." My sister.
"Nice wheels!" Some guy in a park.
And I couldn't find better words. This is a great bicycle, and is overly well worth the money. Price some of it's components online and in local shops, and your mouth will look like this...... O ....... round-mouth, lol. Seat and grips are okay, but what the crap, it's a seat and grips. Overall, I get great satisfaction every time I ride this bicycle. I think you will, too.
LOCK IT UP WITH BIG CHAINS AND U-LOCKS!!!! PEOPLE CUT CABLES WITH ONE HAND, WHILE WAVING AT THE POLICE!!!!!!!!

Diamondback Overdrive 29'er Mountain Bike (2011 Model, 29-Inch Wheels), Satin Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first 29er. I have riding a 26 full suspension for 3 years. After a bad crash and practically totaling out old bike, I decided to get a new one. Strapped for cash, I looked for a bargain. I came upon the Overdrive and have been toying with getting a 29er. Needless to say, I love the bike. Strong and sturdy for a 230lb guy like me.

Tree roots, rocks, bumps - whatever is ahead in the trail, the big wheels of the Diamondback Overdrive will keep on rolling.The 29'er butted aluminum frame is paired with an SR Suntour XCT MLO 100mm travel fork complete with mechanical lock out.24 gears controlled by SRAM X-4 shifters and rear derailleur allow you a multitude of gears to choose from and the double wall rims will be sure to keep you going down the trail.When it is time to stop rely on the Tektro Novela mechanical disc brakes.Granted, the Overdrive will not do all the work for you, but it will sure make your job easier.

Diamondback Response Comp Mountain Bike (2011 Model, 26-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As already mentioned, the specs listed are not correct. Correct are listed below:The bike that comes is still a great bike. The SR-suntour XCR for has a remote lockout which works great. While rockshox are more well known, the fork has handled anything I've thrown at it. The only dissapointment in the bike so far is the wheels are a little less than 'great'. Stock wheels tend to be crap most the time, but these gave out on my first real trail ride. Taco'd with little to no force. Otherwise, its a great spec'd bike for the cost. The hydarulic brakes work adequatly and the shifting is nice and smooth.

Mongoose Tyax Sport Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this bike as after a short stint with a department store bike that even with a "full" suspension, does not hold a candle against the Tyax. Needless to say I needed something more reliable and actually listed in the Mongoose site (none of the department store's Mongoose bikes are listed). Ordered it at a LBS (amazon is great in shipping times but did not use it for this purchase) and got it within a week. As you can notice on the pictures, the bike simply looks beautiful. The welds on the frame are rock solid, adding to the sturdy feel of the bike. The suntour fork has a small travel adjustment and can be locked out for smoother rides, which imo is a huge plus. The disk brakes allow the bike to brake faster without messing with the rim and after several rides they still brake right on the spot. Took the Tyax for a ride in a local paved trail and the bike performed as expected from a bike in this price range: shifters kicked in smoothly, the saddle was not too unconfortable after long rides, brakes react right on time so on and so forth. However it wasn't until I took the bike off road that I truly appreciated this bike. Going uphill in a light trail (small loose rocks; not huge jagged rocks) seemed very effortless. The combination of the Kenda tires and the light frame made it very easy to climb. My previous department store bike had a "full" suspension, meaning that it has a frame shock absorber as well as a fork shock absorber. This made the bike heavy and at times annoying since it would bounce from the frame. The hardtail is a clear winner because it is a lighter, sturdier and just a cool looking bike. So if you're looking for something fun that will take some occasional punishment this is your bike.

Diamondback Lustre Two Women's Mountain Bike (2011 Model, 26-Inch Wheels), Satin Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife wanted an all-around bicycle that she can ride around our ranch on dirt roads, city bike trails, etc., of decent quality, but without spending too much $$ for lightweight alloys, superfluous extras and so forth. This bike is perfect for her, she loves it, it looks nice and seems to be reasonably durable and well made. Especially nice for her are the "pushbutton" gear changers. I noticed many reviews complain about assembly problems and needing to take the unit in to a shop for tuning. Apparently, Diamondback preassembles the bikes and tunes them because it went together perfectly and the gears worked the first time, everytime!! The only thing I would recommend for trail riding is replacing the provided innertubes with thornproof tubes...pretty cheap "insurance" at $7 each. Also, while the provided seat is OK, we'll probably buy a nice padded seat in the future.

Diamondback Cobra 20 Jr Boys Mountain Bike (20-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great little bike for someone who already knows how to ride a bike. This would not make a good first bike. My son started riding smaller bikes when he was 4 and all of his previous bikes were really cheap but were good for learning. We gave him this one for his 7th birthday and it is really nice. The bike works with much less effort than his earlier bikes largely because the wheel bearings, gearing, brakes, and components are much higher quality. He really likes being able to shift the gears, but he really doesn't know how to use them properly - hopefully that will come soon enough. The only drawbacks are that the bike only has hand brakes, which takes some time for younger riders to master. When they do get it, however, the brakes work much better than a pedal style coaster brake. Also, there is no kick stand, but one can be easily added. One last comment is that we bought this bike from a bike shop and they assembled it and then adjusted it again when we bought it. I'm sure that plays a large role in the quality feel of this bike.

Diamondback Sorrento Mountain Bike (2011 Model, 26-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Quality bike for the price. Has just about everything you would look for in a mountain bike costing hundreds more. The pedals are plastic and need to be upgraded but overall a nice purchase. It comes about 90% assembled; you need to mount the quick release front tire, seat, handle bars and attach the brake cables; it took about 20 minutes. There are instructions in the owners manual and the tools needed to put it together.

Diamondback Trace Comp Dual Sport Bike (2011 Model, 700c Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used to ride bmx and mt bikes in the 80s and 90s, took a long break and now in my 40's, wanted to get back into bicycling again. Didn't want a roadbike because on occasions, I still would rather jump curbs or ride over obstacles rather than around it. I like the hardcore high tech mountain bikes available these days but not committed to spend that much money and wanted something that's good on the road as well. Looked at hybrids and wasn't too impressed with the inexpensive ones and couldn't justify spending too much with the well known popular brands.
Then comes Diamondback's "Dual Sport" Trace which fits everything I need plus the latest suspension fork, and disc brakes at a reasonable price, that can be ridden on the streets but can go on light trails. Tough enough for urban streets with potholes, curbs, stairs, and still manageable on hardpack or paved trails.
Now the suspension fork isn't the latest state of the art product but it makes the ride very smooth and comfortable. Mine doesn't have the "lock out" but Im fine setting the "preload" to max which I weigh 190lbs and handles the stairs, curbs , when I want to take shortcuts on my path. On extreme downhills, it can have a bit of a pogo effect but on moderate ones, it still offer control and confidence.
This is the first time Ive had disc brakes on a bicycle and LOVE IT that it's hard for me to think of going back to traditional types. It's so easy to modulate the brakes right from the start where the other kinds, I had to customize the settings.
The frame and components are a bit on the heavy side, but it's just fine for my type of recreational, leisure paced, but on occasion want to be "young and daring". Besides, I can easily upgrade the parts in the future as needed but as a re-entry bike, this is just fine.
Otherwise, I can't stop riding the DB Trace and find excuses just to go for a quick ride.
The DB Trace makes riding a bicycle easy and fun again.

The Diamondback Trace Comp doesn't make the roads and trails easier, but it does help make your ride so. Start with a butted aluminum dual sport frame and throw in double wall 700c wheels, and a Shimano Alivio 8-speed drive train and rapid fire shifters. Take that and add in Hayes HMX-4 mechanical disc brakes to make stopping a piece of cake. And the piece de resistance - a SR Suntour NVX-MLO fork with 75 mm of travel and a mechanical lock out. Try a Diamondback Trace Comp and see where your legs can take you.

Schwinn 2008 Sumac GSD Men's Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels, Medium) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)People who know about bikes know that the Schwinn Sumac is not a department store bike. In fact, this bike is identical to the Schwinn Mesa GSD except for the paint colors. The Schwinn Sumac is a A-list bike with premium components, again all identical to a bike whose price is more than triple that of the Sumac. Check for yourself at BikePedia.com. Every component and part number match up exactly.
This bike comes completely set up right out of the box - and packaged very well, by the way. Install the front wheel, handlebars and pedals and that's pretty much it. The front and rear disc brakes are already adjusted. The front and rear derailleurs are perfectly in sync. Ride the bike and feel the fine-tuned ride this bike provides.
The shifters are absolutely top-notch. A flick of the thumb and the derailleurs snap into gear; no slipping, no grinding - it's one satisfying click. The disc brakes are such a nice touch, and work so well. I defy anyone to find a bike with front and rear discs anywhere near this price. Good luck.
One word of caution: this bike only comes in medium frame size, intended for riders 5'6" to 5'10". They're not kidding. I'm 5'10" and I fill this frame up to the max. The seat post is almost all the way up and I can just barely extend my leg. Keep this in mind before deciding on this one. But if you're in that height range, there is no better choice.

Diamondback Outlook Mountain Bike (2011 Model, 26-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Please be advised that the bike you're buying online is not assembled. Several local bicycle stores in my area had it in stock for $229 fully assembled and ready to ride.
The 2010 model is a world different from previous years, don't be confused when reading online reviews.
The bad:
- imprecise shifting mechanism
- terrible front suspension
- too weak for rugged mountain trails
The Good:
- aluminum and simple, very light
- fully serviceable, upgradeable and repairable, unlike bikes from WalMart and similar stores
- best entry level mixed terrain bike for the money
In my opinion, this is a very good city/commuter bike that can handle potholes, mud and snow, thus making it great for city riding. Don't try jumping over logs and boulders and it will serve you well for quite some time. There are very few aluminum bikes in that price range, and this one seem to be the best, so I bought one. Great for someone just learning or not willing to make a $500 commitment, which is an average price for a real rugged MTB. The front shock is so weak that it's completely pointless, and is likely to fail sooner than later. Keep it clean and lubricated to prolong it's service. If you're riding in the city, consider upgrading to a softer tire, as the original is very hard and noisy.
Good luck and ride safe!

Diamondback Recoil Comp Full Suspension Mountain Bike (2011 Model, 26-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As far as Full Suspension bikes go, you won't find a better bike for the price. All of the adjustments on the front and rear shocks make this bike incredible for all types of terrain and rider preferences. The only reason I would give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I have had trouble with the derailleurs...Great components though, just not made for this bike. IE the front derailleur adjustments cannot be reached without special tools because of where the frame sits...kind of frustrating but obviously not a deal breaker.

Schwinn 405 Full Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels, Small) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As far as frame and shocks no complaints yet but I haven't had it for long took it on two trails and i have already noticed how cheap the parts on this bike are. On the second time I brought it on the trail the rear derailleur hanger has already snapped the pedal broke and both rims are bent. Lastly the front brakes have never stopped like I want them to no matter how much adjusting I do. Other than those no complaints though love the frame n adjustable suspension so I can tighten up for those street rides. Actually rides like a hardtail kinda. But after a few upgrades I think it will be the perfect bike for me anyway. If your thinking about getting one do it don't listen to my complaints because u can upgrade these cheap parts for reasonable prices depending on how extreme u are haha. I just ride to hard for those cheap parts own good
