Have you been searching for a reliable 29er mountain bike you can trust to get you out on the trails (and back home, too!) – all at a remarkable price? Look no further than the Diamondback Overdrive Sport 29er, an entry-level mountain bike that in reality is anything but. It’s trail-ready plus light, comfortable, and versatile enough to be your do-all bike whether you’re into commuting, pedaling around the neighborhood or greenway, or just getting more fit.

A 3×9-speed drivetrain with Shimano Altus shifters and a Shimano Acera rear derailleur means 27 easy, smooth, and responsive shifting options for steep climbs, instant acceleration, or prolonged efforts.

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 Sport certainly delivers with a splendid wheelset. There’s some incredibly reliable SL7 aluminum doublewall rims, 32-hole SL7 aluminum hubs, plus tried-and-true 14g spokes laced in a 3x pattern. This all equates to a rugged set-
