Advantages: Superb looking and repectable brand Disadvantages: slightly uncomfortable ride
...I must admit this bike is by far the best I've ever had even if it isn't perfect. I recently brought this bike for around £500 and although I've never looked back as to be honest I've got a bike from one the the most respected bike brands in the world.
So far I've only used the bike off road once and i must say i was reasonably disappointed.This is because a felt the 4 bar linkage system suspension was rather disappointing. When i ride this bike on the road the suspension is very capable of providing a ver comfortable ride however if like me you like to cycle off road now and then I must say this bike is not made for it.
That however does not mean this is poor diamondback as that is just not possible. It looks absolutely fantastic and for £500 i don't think you will get another bike from a brand with this much respect with Manitou 6...

Advantages: Looks Good, Smooth Gears, Hardcore, Not Too Light Or Too Heavy, Comfy Ride, Good Grip Disadvantages: Brakes Should Be Hydraulics, Forks Should Have Slightly More Travel
...The Chucker is now available online at around £320 in the black colour or £350 for the blue (which looks better in real life than it does in the pictures).
The Chucker handles jumps really well and, although the bash ring [the front part where the gear change happens- normally has about 3 cogs in it] is not best for speed & long distance road riding (I managed 40 miles in a day) but keeps the chain on during jumps. All the SRAM parts [all the parts to do with gears - changers, derraillier...] are capable of a lot of thrashing about and have a really smooth change. The rear derraillier [the mechanism that moves the chain from one gear to another] even stayed together with my friend jumping on it.
It is perfect for stunts as the front & forks are not too light (as in the Diamondback Groove) so you do not fall backwards during jumps...

...Yes the incentive 2000 have quite a name but i don't think they can really live up to the great name they've been given. The style of these shoes is awesome and the colours stand out like traffic lights. They are certainly a pair of trendy tennis shoes but they're not for me i don't know about you. They have reasonable comfort but i thought they were a bit wide and my foot get slipping slightly. The worst thing is the sole, it has absolutely no grip and wears out within two months. If you've got money then buy them, but if your looking for comfort and durability look else wear....
