Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

It may seem shocking to some, but there are still several situations where you're better off on a hardtail than a full-suspension mountain bike, such as when riding to class, dirt jumping, riding on smoother trails, or just cruising around the neighborhood. Enter the Diamondback Overdrive 29er mountain bike, which boasts bigger wheels and even bigger value compared to most other bikes. The Overdrive is built using a super-snappy and responsive butted 6061-T6 Aluminum Overdrive 29r frame and comes equipped with smooth-operating components from SR Suntour, SRAM, Tektro, Shimano, Avenir, DB, and WTB. The tires, meanwhile, measure an extra-large 29 inches, allowing riders to roll through and over obstacles with more confidence. Specific features include a SR Suntour XCT MLO 100mm travel fork, Tektro Novela mechanical disc brakes with 6-inch rotors, SRAM X-4 eight-speed trigger shifters, WTB Prowler SL 29 x 2.1 tires, and an Avenir Series 200 Black saddle. The bike that started the big-wheeled, off-road revolution 17 years ago, the Overdrive 29'er lets you enjoy cutting-edge oversized biking technology without bruising your bank account.

The Overdrive 29er's oversized 29-inch tires make it easier to ride up and over obstacles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 29er Package, February 1, 2010

This is a great entry level 29er at a price point that can't be beat. The frame design is awesome and component selection is above averge considering the price tag. Sure there are better high dollar bikes out there but as a family man, it's about a great value that allows me to get back into the sport without breaking the bank. Had a slight problem with a defective WTB saddle which Diamondback took care of without issue. Great customer service from Diamondback they were a pleasure to deal with - Thanks Tony. I've got about 20 hours on it and the bike handles well, this 29er has a very graceful feel to it, shifts well in all conditions from what I've seen of the snow and mud, and brakes just fine. Great design, great value, great customer service. Assembly is not difficult. No regrets thanks Diamondback.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun on 2 wheels, July 13, 2009

I purchased this item a couple of years ago now. I have absolutely had a blast with it! It handles extremely well on all sorts of terrain. Although i have yet to try it out on real mountains yet, I can say that i have had great fun with it on pretty much everything else from cruising down the road to narrow trails and mud. The only issue I've encountered have been normal wear and tare. I do recommend upgrading some of the components such as the pedals and the rear derailer. Overall this has been a wonder full purchase.

So far so good. The bike was shipped and needed assembly requiring a trip to the bike shop also to maintain it's warranty. The bike has sound components and a nice finished. The bike shop was impressed with the bike and it's price and inquired the details of my purchased. The advantage with this Amazon purchase was free shipping and no taxes which saved me at least $100. The bike was greatly discounted and that save me another $300. This bike has received good reviews from several sources that gave me a easy decision to buy.
