Satiate your desire to storm some singletrack with gusto courtesy of the Diamondback Overdrive Comp 29er mountain bike. This aluminum hardtail 29er, complete with a full Deore 2×10 drivetrain and Deore hydraulic brakes, packs quite a punch and definitely hits above its weight in terms of performance and value. At its core is a rocket ship of a frame hand-built from 6061-T6 aluminum in custom formed and butted tubing that exemplifies strength and light weight. There’s a superb RockShox XC30 TK 29″ suspension fork whose 100mm of travel smooths out the roughest of terrain. Additionally, the fork’s 1-1/8″ to 1.5″ tapered head tube creates a stiff front end to deliver crisp, accurate steering while fine-tuning the ride is made easy via the fork’s external rebound plus TurnKey lock-out controls. Components-wise, you can do no wrong with a Shimano Deore drivetrain. Featuring a full package of 2×10 shifters, front and rear derailleurs, and crankset, precision shifting and bombproof performance through the nastiest of conditions is at your disposal. There’s more Shimano Deore spec’d for brakes as the hydraulic discs, featuring 180mm front and 160mm rear rotors, effortlessly delivers ample stopping power in any conditions. And no doubt you’ve opted for a 29er because of their large-diameter wheels – ideal for rolling smooth and fast over rough terrain – and the Overdrive Comp has you covered with a rock-solid wheelset. There’s the incredibly reliable SL7 aluminum doublewall rims, 32-hole SL7 aluminum hubs, plus tried-and-true 14g spokes laced in a 3x pattern. Rounding out the wheelset is a set of Schwalbe Rapid Rob 29×2.25 tires that sport an aggressive, all-around tread pattern for incredible bite plus a kevlar belt to maximize puncture resistance. No doubt you can trust this rig to take you the extra mile.
