I snagged last years model for 300 bucks at dicks sporting goods! I enjoy the bike. I was dying to get back on a hardtail and this bike does not disappoint.

These cheap SR Suntour forks are junk. as for simplicity of hardtail, for me its just more painful,as i have back issues.
try the music is way too loud in this video.
Where did you get the bike on sale at? Thanks
Hey once again good video, I’m. checking this one out its orange colored.
The 2017 model can be bought from performancebike.com for 600 bucks. Just a heads up for all who are interested.
You should review the diamondback overdrive.
Good video. Would you recommend the hook to someone who doesn’t really do a lot of aggressive mountain trials? I ride mostly on paved roads and occasionally on dirt paths but I love the bike for its color and simplicity (hardtail, one-by drive train). I rarely ever use the small and large chainrings on three-bys.
Nice vid men, keep making content like this 🙂

next time try to make your voice over louder and music a liitle softer, just trying to help you improve. other than that great vid.
The Vitus Nucleus offers way better components for example an air spring fork and hydraulic disc brakes and it comes in 27,5 and 29
Is this better than the VooDoo Bizango????
I love your channel but music is a bit too loud
And your videos seem inspired by Seth bike hacks
I just got some Rockshox gold 1 1/8 straight tube,27.5,9mm axle fork,Renthal carbon fatbars,and diamondback sent me an upgraded front sprocket.I suggest getting all of those
Diamondback hook or Raleigh Tokul 2
Whats the difference in the 2016 and 2017? A buddy of mine is selling a 2016 Hook for $400 (only ridden about 10 times). Should I get the 2016 or go ahead and spend the extra $200 for the 2017?
Don’t buy the hook. Buy the specialized rockhopper sport.
I’ve become increasingly impressed with Diamond Back’s offerings. How do you think it compares in price/quality over getting a used but well maintained bike off craigslist, ebay, or similar?
Sorry about the audio in this video. I switched over to a different editing program and I am still trying to master it.
Hey man! I’m getting one soon! Have you upgraded anything on it so far? If so let me know! Thanks
to be honest this bike sucks, a giant talon is about the same price and it comes with a way better package and I think they could have chosen a better fork…..
1:14 it is made in China!!!!!!!
I disagree I think it’s the trek marlin 6 it cost 700$ with hydraulic brakes
Nice vid, thanks for the review
I’m 5 foot 6 inches would the hook be good for me
