Diamondback Women's Ridgeback 27.5 Mountain Bike, 21 Speed, Aluminum Frame, Mechanical Disc Brakes, Hardtail

My first bike in 20 years and I love it. Bought in May and ride quite often. I thought I would need a different seat but it’s surprisingly comfortable. Switching from first to second gear is problematic at times and the brakes are noisy. Would have rated 5 otherwise :)

Great bike, great price, awesome employees who built it! A+++

The brakes were horrible, won't stop, and squeak really loud even after the tuneups. Returning it.

Ordered and had it shipped to home. Assembly was rather easy 6/10. Only the pedals, seats, front tire and handle bars needed to be assembled. Brake lines and back wheel came connected. Rated 4/5 as the seat is a bit uncomfortable after a simple 15 min ride but by no means is a deal breaker. May seems to be bringing nicer weather in Ontario so it will get good use this summer of 2022 and beyond I’m sure.

This bike is exactly what i was looking for. The price was right and it's more then i expected. I love the colour too.

I bought this a few days ago knowing I would have to carry it up/down a flight of stairs every time I wanted to use it. I regret buying this bike now. My 10 year old cheap K2 bike was easier to get up and down my apartment stairs. Also, I hate the shifting - it does not shift fluidly between the 3 big gears near the pedals. They jerk and skip and finally hit into place. Definitely returning it to the store tomorrow for a derailleur adjustment. I also hear grinding in the lowest gear - something that should not be happening on a well tuned bike. The mechanical disk brakes are not at all what I expected - much harder to use than the older v-brakes. Maybe this will just take some getting used to but I found I need to really apply the breaks hard for anything close to immediate stopping. I went with Diamondback because I had done some research on bikes for plus size riders and found Diamondback on more than one recommendation list - I just figured the extra weight of the bike was a trade off for the extra weight I carried. The fact that it had Shimano parts vs Microshift was the deal sealer but in the end, I regret the purchase and wish I had gone with my gut and selected something in the next price range up. You get what you pay for.

No issues or concerns. Light weight and easy to ride.

Great bike for beginner/intermediate riders. I ride mine in the trails and on the road and havent had any problems. Very happy with this purchase.
