Nice looking, great bike, my son, who’s 8 loves it and wants to ride all the time. The only drawback is, he has a hard time switching gears. Very happy with it!

This is a great little bike for someone who already knows how to ride a bike. This would not make a good first bike. My son started riding smaller bikes when he was 4 and all of his previous bikes were really cheap but were good for learning. We gave him this one for his 7th birthday and it is really nice. The bike works with much less effort than his earlier bikes largely because the wheel bearings, gearing, brakes, and components are much higher quality. He really likes being able to shift the gears, but he really doesn’t know how to use them properly – hopefully that will come soon enough. The only drawbacks are that the bike only has hand brakes, which takes some time for younger riders to master. When they do get it, however, the brakes work much better than a pedal style coaster brake. Also, there is no kick stand, but one can be easily added. One last comment is that we bought this bike from a bike shop and they assembled it and then adjusted it again when we bought it. I’m sure that plays a large role in the quality feel of this bike.

This bike is absolutely beautiful and my 9 year old is going to love it, I feel confident sending him out on it, it’s beautifully constructed and definitely worth every penny. The reason I give it 3 stars instead of 5 is because it DOESN’T come with assembly instructions. My suggestion to you is to go to a local bike shop (which is what I should have done) and buy on there as opposed to online. When I called the company to ask about assembly, they suggested I take it to a local dealer to put it together. So GO OUT and buy this at a local Diamondback dealer, you’ll be as confident as me putting your kids on it!
