Level Link and plus tires make you a rock star!
I've had this bike for almost a year now and can say it opened up a whole new world of trail riding for me. The Catch climbs like my hardtail and puts a smile on my face while smashing technical and fast flowy decents. Plus tires provide amazing grip and allow me to experiment with lower tire pressures for even greater traction and control. I've ridden Diamondback mountain bikes since 2012 and can guarantee you will not find a better bang for your buck. Any warranty and or parts issues I have had were quickly resolved through the DB website.
No replacement parts for level link suspension
I bought this bike about a year go and the bushing on the level link suspension already seem to be failing. I can't find replacement parts any where and bike shops do little about where to buy them...
