In genere in una mountain bike entry level i produttori tendono a sacrificare qualcosa in cambio di un prezzo più abbordabile. Diamondback presenta una nuova gamma di front entry level da trailriding con prezzi accessibili ed allestimenti interessanti: Hook, Line e Sync’r.
Questa nuova linea integra, infatti, tutto ciò che si potrebbe desiderare da una front entry level da escursionismo, ovvero ruote da 27.5″, trasmissione monocorona e forcella da 120 millimetri di escursione. Il tutto ad un prezzo che varia tra i $ 600 e i $ 1.200.
Sync’r
La Sync’r si posiziona al top di gamma in questa linea. Con un prezzo di $ 1.200 è dotata di forcella RockShox XC32 con perno passante, trasmissione SRAM 1 × 10 con corona di tipo Wide/Narrow, freni a disco idraulici Tektro e posto guida RaceFace, componentistica che in genere caratterizza bici a prezzi più elevati.
