Great first hybrid for me!
After years of trying to make my own hybrid bike from mtn bikes, I finally decided to just buy one purpose built. I'm very comfortable on the upright flat bars, the brakes and shifter work great and the bike glides smoothly and quickly. I love it! No issues riding around a city or on hard packed dirt roads, jumping on curbs, just need to get used to no front shocks. Soon I will mount a rear luggage rack so I appreciate the mounting points. Definitely recommend this bike, $50 back too for members!

Great deal!
I found this bike online and went into the store to try it out. Taking a ride around the block resulted in my buying three of them! My kids and I all got one. Very happy with the purchase. Comfortable, light weight, good price, highly recommended.

Nice bike but...
I like the bike, definitely a nice bike for the price. Have used it once and when changing gears it is now making noise, like the plate is rubbing against the chain so I will have to bring it back to get looked at

I can't find sizing chart.. I'm 5'9... what size frame??
I found the size chart on Diamondback web site:
http://www.diamondback.com/bikes-road-bikes-performance-hybrid-insight-series-insight-2
Date published: 2016-08-11
For the Diamondback Insight, are the pedal spindles 1/2 inch or 9/16 inch? Neither the Owner's Manual nor the Assembly Guide that came with the bike mentions this detail.
​The pedal spindles are 9/16" on the Insight 2 Disc Bike.

Is the front tire a quick release or do you need tools to remove it?
​This bike has a quick release front wheel for tool-free removal.

Is this bike good for a bit of off-road/non-path riding? If not, Im looking for something about $500 or less that is light and is capable of offroads.
The Insight 2 Disc Bike is a great choice for what you are looking for. It will be able to handle off road riding and could be improved with a mountain bike tire if you are planning on doing some tougher trails.
