5.0 out of 5 stars Diamondback Did Not Let Me Down, February 14, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Diamondback 2012 Response Mountain Bike (Sports)
After a hard spill and some broken bones, I gave up biking for several years, but recently decided to start up again. I did my homework and finally decided on the Diamondback Response to help me jump back in. I bought the bike for $400 and it was an excellent price for the quality received. This bike is heavy duty, rugged, and durable. If Rambo rode a bike, it would be this one.

Assembly was much easier than I expected....and Amazon shipped very quickly! Not only is the bike aesthetically pleasing, but most of the parts are adjustable to configure the bike to your like and style of riding. All the parts are high quality....I honestly couldn't find one weak link in the whole design. I tried to put it through hell on my first outing and it didn't even flinch. Diamondback's reputation is secure....they did not let me down!

Ultimately, this bike safe and reliable. I would recommend it to any level rider.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly happy, January 5, 2012

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This was a good looking bike going into this, and an even better one when putting it together for the first time and riding it.

The frame feels solid and the components are pre assembled so there's no super pain when dealing with de-railers. Certain Parts on the breaking system feel slightly cheesy and take a little bit to break in, but once you get it broken in, it works fine and you'll find that their quite solid. I did need to adjust every cable on the bike to get it running smoothly, but once that was accomplished, it was smooth sailing.

If your looking at getting this, I'd recommend it as something for someone looking to go out and have fun riding trails around. If you're looking for a light bike that you can rely on, this is your bike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Bike but..., May 29, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
The Good: The bike is great for the money. Rides smooth, well balanced for jumps and carving turns, shifts are instant and authoritative, brakes are great for non-disc, saddle is as expected for a mountain bike, front shocks smoother than super cheapies, all around very happy... after road bikes for the last 10 years, I feel like a kid again jumping off curbs, through dirt trails, sand, etc. I cannot comment on extreme riding and durability of the bike as I'm a suburban rider thus far so for you crazies doing mach 10 down the side of a mountain looking at this bike as an option either; A. your not very smart for putting your life in the hands of a 300 buck bike and you deserve whats coming and/or B. maybe you need to get some help from a bike store professional before bombing face first down Mount Killamenowa.

The Bad (well sort of):
1. The plastic pedals are hilarious...why? and the thumb triggers for shifting cannot be adjusted :(

2. The bike is NOT... Read more
