Diamondback makes some of the very best mountain bikes around. Their Sortie line bikes are made to be the quintessential trail bike, responsive enough for top-level racing yet sufficiently forgiving for all day, cross country rides. The Sortie Trail five-inch frame is made of 6061-T6 weapons grade aluminum with a hydroformed top tube and butted down tube and seat stays. Diamondback’s proprietary Knuckle Box suspension platform is at the core of this system, and a Rock Shox ARIO 2 rear air shock offers a low center of gravity and leverage ratio. Single-sided hardware, meanwhile, makes maintaining your main pivots simple, by eliminating the need to remove the crank set from the frame.

As the entry-level model in this series, the Sortie 1 offers outstanding value. Complete with a Rock Shox Tora 289 fork, it boasts a 120-millimeter travel coil spring with rebound damping adjustments to dial in your suspension for any trail. A full Shimano Alivio drivetrain provides swift and precise shifting on demand, and Shimano’s M445 hydraulic disc brakes give smooth, powerful stopping in any situation. Diamondback SL super light double wall disc wheels and signature Lazer bars, stem, and post boost responsive performance out on the trail.

With an aluminum, women’s specific, frame and 50mm travel fork this bike will keep you going on the road or path. 7-speed twist shifters make hills easier with just a flick of the wrist while the alloy linear pull brakes make stopping easy. Need an affordable, high quality, bike? Grab a Lustre 1 and feel the wind on your face once again.Amazon.com Product Description
    The Diamondback women’s Lustre 1 mountain bike was developed with fun and function in mind, with such high-quality features as a Hi-Ten Remington Steel frame, a 50mm suspension fork, and Shimano derailleurs. As a result, the Lustre 1 excels whether you’re riding a tough trail or cruising the city streets. The Lustre 1 hails from Diamondback’s Devine Designs line, a series of women’s-specific bicycles made up of mountain and comfort bikes, beach cruisers, and two different series of hybrids (traditional and performance). Each bicycle in the line features a similar look and feel, but includes several unique women’s-only features that you won’t find on Diamondback’s men’s bikes. Whether you?re looking to chase down (and pass up) the guys on the trail or you just need a ride to class, the Lustre 1 has you covered. Other features include a SunRace seven-speed twist shifter, 26-inch Kenda dual-sport tires, and a Devine women’s-specific ATB seat.

    The Lustre 1 includes a Hi-Ten Remington Steel frame and a 50mm suspension fork.
