Diamondback Recoil Comp Mountain Bike

​Summary

​The features of the bike are up to date and are efficient and well made . The bike itself is a quality and well built machine that is strong and durable.

Introduction

The Diamondback Recoil Comp is a fairly newer model of mountain bikes from Diamondback, launched after the brand took somewhat of a hiatus from the cycling market.

The name of the product speaks to that small hiatus, as recoil means anything that is able to spring or come back and maneuver whatever issues are thrown at it.

While this is great in terms of marketing jargon, the specifics and features of the bike will tell whether Diamondback’s newest model is all talk, or if there’s any truth to their statements.

The Diamondback Recoil Comp enters the market with promises to be one of the most efficient mountain bikes there is, with new features to enhance durability and your performance in all trails and terrains.

Though mostly being advertised as a male bike, the Diamondback Recoil Comp is perfect for both gender of cyclists, as long as both men and women choose the accurate height for adjusting this product. The bike itself does give the appearance of being more complicated than it actually is, which may scare some beginners, but ideally, it’s just as advanced and nontechnical as most other bikes, and with a simple rundown of how everything works, you’ll feel like a pro in no time. Its strength and durability make it ideal for mountain bikers who want to do more than the average cyclist, such as incorporating stunts and doing lots of flips and jumps.

What’s included out of the box

​Diamondback’s Ready ride bikes are normally 95% assembled when shipped, which takes a lot of the work out of assembling a new bike for you. This bike falls into this category and comes mostly pre-assembled, with just a few parts of the bike needing to be attached. Ensure also that you tighten and align parts of the bike to your liking, as pre-assembled doesn’t necessarily mean that it has been adjusted for any body type or height.

On average, the total assembly of the bike should take around an hour for beginners, and reduced to just 40 minutes for more experienced cyclists.

The box contains most parts pre-assembled, with most of the smaller parts and attachments in a separate container in the box. Parts such as the front tire and handlebars are also bigger parts of the product that comes in the box, but also need to be attached during the assembly process.

The box doesn’t contain any special gifts or added items, but for this price, we can work with that, as virtually everything you need to take you through assembly will be already present.

Finally, if you’re unsure of exactly how your bike should be assembled, you could take it to a local cycling shop to have it put together for you, or you could follow the step by step tutorial found on Diamondback’s website.
