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 the same super-snappy and responsive aluminum frame found on the Overdrive Pro and comes equipped with smooth-operating components from Rock Shox, Hayes, SRAM, Shimano, Avenir, 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 Rock Shox Dart 3 100mm dual air fork, Hayes HMX-4 mechanical disc brakes, SRAM X.4 eight-speed trigger shifters, WTB Prowler SL 2.1 tires, and a WTB Speed V sport 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.

5 out of 5 stars Great 29er Package   February 2, 2010
29er Rider (Tennessee)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

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.

5 out of 5 stars great bike great price   January 30, 2010

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.


4 out of 5 stars Fun on 2 wheels   July 14, 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.
