The foundation for the Diamondback Recoil 2015 Full Suspension Complete Mountain Bike is firmly laid with an all-new 6061 T-6 Aluminum Trail frame sporting 4" of travel via the RockShox Monarch R air rear shock. The frame uses a machine formed top tube and a butted and formed down tube; the same technology found on Diamondback's Sortie series. It uses a sealed cartridge bearing pivot and is built around an optimized single pivot design--the simplest type of rear suspension with fewer moving parts. It consists of a pivot just above the bottom bracket, slightly up on the down tube and a single swingarm to the rear axle. Being that the rear triangle directly attaches to the rear shock, the shock has a more linear spring rate and offers good small bump compliance. The Diamondback Recoil 2015 Full Suspension Complete Mountain Bike features the RockShox Monarch R air rear shock to compliment the SR Suntour XCR RL 100mm fork. This fork features rebound dampening adjust and a speed lock remote. The lockout allows the rider to limit the travel of the fork for an enhanced climbing experience.

With its sturdy build, light frame and body, durable components, large wheels and smooth suspension, the Diamondback Recoil 2015 Full Suspension Complete Mountain Bike can tackle the rockiest of trails and the dense forest pathways with complete ease. Nice bike for the price assembly so easy a caveman can do it just the front wheel and the front brake and handlebars had it together in 20 minutes and riding it smooth bike I highly recommend to anyone that don't want to have more money in a bicycle then there car

Though there are several drawbacks attributed to this bike, the Diamondback Recoil 2015 Full Suspension Complete Mountain Bike manages to provide a memorable experience for every entry-level rider
