The Diamondback Overdrive 2015 Hard Tail Complete Mountain Bike is an excellent option for enthusiast riders looking to get into the 29er game. The Diamondback Overdrive 2015 Hard Tail Complete Mountain Bike packs a punch in terms of value and affordability donning a performance driven package that is spec’d on a frame built to withstand punishment from the trail making it the ideal 29’er for any level of rider. The improved 2014 6061-T6 Aluminum Overdrive series frame boasts of newly formed top and down tubes, a 1.5“ tapered machined headtube, and forged drop outs with a replaceable derailleur hanger. You get the strength where it’s needed while saving weight so you can go a further faster, and with less energy exerted to keep you on the trail longer.
The geomety of the meticulously designed Diamondback Overdrive 2015 Hard Tail Complete Mountain Bike is spot on. The ever so sloping top tube provides ample standover clearance. A 71° head tube angle and a 73° seat tube angle create the perfect XC/trail geometry. 440mm (17.3") chainstays equate to an extremely snappy rig and the ability to easily get the front wheel off the ground.
There’s no denying the rock crawling, root crushing power of a larger wheel. Making the largest of obstacles the smallest of matters is a defining trait of these muddy beasts. By offering decreased rolling resistance, increased traction when cornering, and improved ground clearance, one ride upon these massive behemoths is sure to sway even the staunchest skeptic.
The SR Suntour XCR-LO fork with 30mm stanchions gives you 100mm of travel for the perfect amount of cushion up front and a turnkey lockout feature to give you rebound control for help on steep ascents. Shimano BR-M355 Hydraulic Disc brakes with 180mm front and 160mm rear rotors provide a high value to cost ratio braking system. A full on Shimano drivetrain grants you smooth shifting performance that works in tandem with the SR Suntour XCR crankset (22/32/44t). Add in Diamondback SL-7 double wall rims with Schwalbe Rapid Rob tires and you are set to conquer any and all obstacles. The Diamondback Lazer Series 31.8mm low rise handlebars and custom DB AL6061 stem coupled with the DB Micro Adjust seatpost and Race saddle round out this incredible cockpit package.

Diamondback Overdrive 2015 Hard Tail Complete Mountain Bike is Great bike. Everything about it screams quality. It is extremely light, feels very sturdy and well built. Im 6'4" so i went for the 22" model and it fits perfectly. I could never extend my legs fully on other bicycles. I am not a fan of handle grips. Wish they would be cut on the end rather than have them wrap around the bar. I always liked to install horns on my bikes. but then again i knew what i was buying at the beginning. bike came almost fully assembled. front wheel and handlebars were loose. everything else was put together. rear brakes were calibrated well. gearing needed a bit of tweaking. front brakes needed medium amount of tweaking as they were not installed on the bike. keep in mind. this bike has presto valves.
The Diamondback Overdrive 2015 Hard Tail Complete Mountain Bike is an economical means of getting you onto a
premier 29er. Whether you’re just “testing the waters” for your first
29er, or whether you want to add a new steed to the stable, the
Overdrive Sport won't disappoint.
