Diamondback Overdrive Pro 29er Mountain Bike – Nashbar Exclusive – 18 INCH

Carbon fiber gets a lot of attention these days, but it was aluminum that was first used to build ridiculously light bikes. The Diamondback Overdrive Pro 29er mountain bike continues that high-performance hardtail legacy by incorporating tried and true 6061-T6 aluminum in custom formed and butted tubing that exemplifies strength and light weight. Its 1-1/8″ to 1.5″ tapered head tube creates a stiff front end to deliver crisp, accurate steering, and the forged rear dropouts with a replaceable derailleur hanger ensure a serviceable, long life. Up front, the Fox 32 Float CTD 29″ suspension fork gives you 100mm of travel; plenty for blazing along cross country singletrack. The fork also features external rebound and lock out plus a 15mm thru-axle for stiffness and security under acceleration. Speaking of tried and true, the Shimano 2×10 drivetrain is the epitome of reliability, strength, and precision. Shifting is handled by a Shimano SLX Rapidfire 2×10 setup on the bars, a Shimano Deore front derailleur, plus the exemplary Shimano XT Shadow SGS rear derailleur. There’s also a Shimano SLX 38/24T crankset as well as a bombproof Shimano HG50 10-speed cassette. Oodles of precision stopping power is supplied by the Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes, complete with XT rotors. The fast-rolling 29″ wheels feature incredibly reliable SL7 aluminum doublewall rims as well as 32-hole SL7 aluminum hubs. 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. Hand-built 6061-T6 aluminum 29er hardtail frame features custom formed and butted tubing for strength, stiffness, and light weight FOX 32 Float CTD 29″ suspension fork delivers 100mm of travel, external rebound and lock-out, plus 15mm thru-axle Shimano 2×10 drivetrain with SLX shifters, Deore front derailleur, and XT Shadow SGS rear derailleur Shimano SLX crank
