Overdrive


Overdrive

It is with great pride and excitement that we reintroduce a Diamondback original - the Overdrive. A lot has changed since 1992 when Diamondback introduced the first 29” wheeled mountain bike to the market with the original Overdrive, but the benefits and the good times these bikes provide remain the same.

If you haven’t had a chance to ride a mountain bike with 29” wheels, then you really have no way to know what all the fuss is about. Although words really can’t do the 29” experience justice, we won’t let that keep us from using a few to help you understand what you’ve been missing.

If you think back to the days when you learned to ride a bike and you graduated from one wheel size to a bigger one, you’ll understand the difference between riding an Overdrive and a bike with 26” wheels. You’ll remember that with each bike you rode with bigger wheels, it became easier to go fast and to maintain speed. The bigger wheels seemed to make the terrain smoother and allowed you to go places you hadn’t been able to go before. Those same principals and laws of physics exist today and keep you and the good times rolling – smoothly and steadily.

Don’t think you have to spend big to roll big. The Overdrive boasts the same super snappy and responsive aluminum frame that is found on the Overdrive Pro and comes well-equipped with smooth-operating components from Rock Shox, Hayes, Shimano, Avenir, and WTB. Ride an original, the Overdrive – the bike that started this revolution 16 years ago.
