The new Diamondback 29" hardtail trail frames have been specifically designed for European trails. These bikes will take all the abuse of the toughest trails with Hydroformed tubing giving an ideal combination of high strength and low weight. They also feature a European specific design, this comes in the shape of massive mud and heel clearance at the rear. MBUK: "One of the best equipped £800 29ers we've seen."
