Anyone have insight on how this Costco price compares to other recent Diamondback sales? Looking for a decent hybrid or hardtail mountain bike that strikes a balance between "doesn't break the bank" and "doesn't break."

The 29" version of the DB Overdrive was available for $375 during the last DB sale that just ended. The only difference other than wheel size was that that version had Shimano 3x8 components, while this version has Microshift 3x8. About the same quality for the specific groupset used. Basically this isn't a great deal.

Realistically this is the same quality bike as the GT Agressor Pro that was available at Dick's for $299, and is currently $350. I suggest you buy that instead. Another option is the Costco Northrock (made by Giant) XC27/29 that goes in and out of stock for ~$300. That is also a similar quality bike that would be a better buy.

Not even close to a deal at this price. If you're on a budget the Ozark Trail Ridge (Wal-Mart), Kent Enclave (Target), or Kent Trouvaille (if you can find one) are all better choices.

Don't get suspension bikes. Esp at this price point, it likely isn't a good one, and the extra cost of including it (versus a bike without suspension) takes away from better quality parts elsewhere on the bike. It also means Its another moving part that fails. Look up servicing intervals and pricing on suspensions. roughly for basic service every 40 hours, prolly 50 bucks for that,.. and when at 200hrs its recommended getting a full service ... which likely runs at roughly $200+ by a qualified suspension tech (local bike shops are not the best bet for proper suspension servicing, you need a professional!). And you absolutely cannot (or atleast probably shouldn't) do on your own either! The part is ultimately a money sink,. Unless absolutely necessary for you, its just another part that breaks/degrades and needs constant servicing. Suspensions are a meme, only really applicable if you're doing proper mountain biking, hitting complex terrain, taking hits. The majority of people do not need it. If you're riding on gravel, a wider tire with lower pressure will provide magnitudes more value and comfort.


fwiw, I'm not pro light roadbikes either, just not a fan of the road bike fad, what with their 15lbs lean bikes and matching spandex uniforms (like a buncha daisies!) -- I personally ride a decade old Diamond Back Transport, it was $450 when I got it, 35lbs stock, 45lbs equipped with my stuff, and I ride it roughly 30-40 miles... Daily! Not for commute, but just for the sweaty work outs in the evening or early morn. I spend my money on accessories and upgrades, I'd like to think my bike is a sleeper touring machine. Its a HEAVY boy. & I like my heavy boy. That said, If I were to get this Suspension Diamondback from Costco... at my mileage.... I'd have to get the suspension full serviced every 2 months (200hrs/3hr per day), that's $200+ every 2 months! -- Simplicity is best. Avoid suspensions. Spend on good tires.

Def cannot recommend this deal from my perspective.

While it is a quality bike, 8 speed 11-32t triple chainring entry level MTB is not a good deal for $440+ in 2024. It brings nothing but unnecessary complexity and extra weight and maintenance to novice riders who will greatly benefit from 1x drivetrain bikes that can be had for less money.

Not sure why you got downvoted. 3x8, coil fork and no dropper from a company that has somehow built a reputation of putting out "better than Walmart bikes" simply because they aren't sold at Walmart anymore. I bought a Diamondback Haanjo a couple years back and it had a blatantly faulty freehub body. They didn't have a replacement for the freehub body, so after about 6 months (no joke) of back and forth, they finally sent me a replacement wheel, but they sent a rim brake compatible wheel! Finally after explaining the situation and sending pictures, they sent me a disc brake compatible wheel but it wasn't tubeless compatible like the original wheels. The rotor was also centerlock, so now the bike has a 6 bolt on the front, and centerlock on the back. The worst part is the rotor they sent vibrates like crazy. I had to replace it. In comparison, the Schwinn Axum (non-DP) I bought for $220 at Walmart had 0 issues and ended up being a great loaner bike. To be clear I'm not recommending to go out and purchase a bike from Walmart - in fact in the 400-500 range I would be checking local bike shops for used bikes. They might have something entry level which they've gone over to make sure it's ready to ride without issues. I think it's very rare for a bike shop to sell you a bike with faulty parts. Also they'll actually know what kind of bike you need for the terrain you're riding - unlike the clowns on the internet that tell you what you should or shouldn't be riding based on how/where THEY ride.
