Here’s the thing, though Diamondback’s are known to be mid level bikes, you still get what you pay for… and what you pay for in the mountain bike industry is weight.

That Coil EX weighs about 38lbs. That is heavy, you’ll be struggling to pedal that thing up any hill. Its typical for a full suspension to be heavy, unless it has a good frame and components. My Gary Fisher weights around 27lbs, but is also 2300$.

Also, coil actuated shocks are old technology. If you want a nice comfortable ride, get air actuated shocks. The only thing coils are good for now-a-days are for downhill rigs.

DB’s arer prone to weld breaks;)
