Diamondback Cycles Established 1978

Diamondback was founded in 1978 by a small United States west coast distributor Western States Industries (WSI) who originally sold road bikes under the Centurion brand and later introduced BMX under the Diamondback brand.

From 2009 onwards, we see Diamondback bikes represented by trials legend Martyn Ashton and his Ashton/Diamondback team who propelled dirt and slopestyle star Sam Pilgrim onto the world scene. This multi talented mix of riders also put Diamondback in front of millions of consumers at the famous Animal/Relentless Bike Tour.

The 2012 Diamondback Overdrive features all that we have learned from the development of the new trail frames, but they are designed around a smaller travel fork for the rider that may want to use their bike for everything from the local singletrack to the ride to work. The Overdrive is the first model in this years hardtail line up. It has been developed to be a true entry level mountain bike. The 21 gears are from Shimano (enough said), the frame is lightweight but strong aluminium, forks are bullet-proof Suntour and there's a mechanically actuated disc brake up front to stop you on a dime. Perfect entry level MTB.
