First Look: Diamondback's Affordable Downhiller - the 2015 DB8 - Pinkbike
As a Diamondback fan who would eventually love to try out and get into DH riding, this new bike from Diamondback looks amazing. I was kind of sad when they discontinued the Scapegoat as their DH/FR type bike, but I guess it was to make way for this. I still like the 7 inch 'Goats though.
At the price, this thing is an absolute steal. You could pick it up with a Mission/Sortie 1 or 2, both brand new for the price of some of some top end bikes out there (like say, a new Scapegoat if they made it, haha). I know I'd rather have two great bikes for different riding than one really great bike for only one type of riding (in my case, an awesome Recoil Comp, which is only becoming more awesome ).
Thumbs up to Diamondback for being awesome.
Can't wait to hear/see more of this thing.
