Main feature details of Diamondback Sync’r 2018 Hardtail Bike

Frame and Fork

Would it be called a bicycle without frames? Definitely no! Bicycle frames and forks are the main assembly points of the bike. They are typically made from four main materials. They are aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, and titanium. Just to mention, a bicycle’s frame greatly determines its weight.

The Diamondback Sync’r hardtail bike has a hand-built carbon hardtail frame. It also has a 142 x 12mm thru-axle for Maxel. Aluminum is preferred due to its great resistance to bending under the normal pedaling load. On the other hand, forks also save on weight. That said, it features a RockShox Recon Silver tapered steerer tube without turn key lockout fork

Gear and Shifter

Ever rode a single gear bicycle? If no, don’t try as they are typically boring with no speed enhancer. Gears are invaluable in maintaining a comfortable pedaling speed regardless of the terrain. Diamondback Sync’r Hardtail Mountain Bike being an all-terrain beast, the gears and shifters ought to be out of this world.

There are five major players when it comes to any bicycle’s shifters and gears. They include the front chainrings or the crankset, rear cassette, chain, derailleurs, and shifters. That said, Diamondback bike has a SRAM PG1130 11 speed cassette, SRAM PC1130 11 speed Powerlink chain, SRAM NX 1x 30T Chainring crankset, SRAM NX 11 speed X-actuation trigger shifter and unbeatable front and rear derailleur.

Powerful Brake

Imagine stopping a bicycle with poor or no brakes? Accidents everywhere. Breaks in a bicycle determine the overall safety of the bicycle. Just to mention, there are up to seven bicycle brake types. They include the caliper brakes, band brake, drum brakes, backpedal brake, cantilever or V-brake, roller brake and the disc brake. As mentioned before, the Diamondback Sync’r bike uses the disc brake.

Briefly, this brake utilizes a pair of friction pads, forced against the opposite sides of a steel disc. Many people often question disc brakes for heating up. However, they are well-exposed such that any heat-formed is rapidly dissipated. Initially, disc brakes were heavy, wet and noisy. However, with technical advancements, the current Tektro hydraulic disc brakes have eliminated these problems by reduced disc size.

Great Suspension

Even a simple couch has suspensions, isn’t it? Similarly, suspensions in any bicycle are essential to protect or insulate the rider from experiencing the roughness of the terrain. Besides, suspension systems often improve traction and safety as they keep one or both wheels in constant contact with the ground.

Mountain bikes often don’t lack suspension. Different bicycle models implement suspension in a myriad of ways. This could be through front, rear, seat post, saddle, hub or stem suspension. For this model, as the name suggests, it is a hardtail bicycle. This implies that it only has the front suspension. Rigid bicycles lack suspension and can be hard to ride.

Seat Post/Saddle

How would you ride with no place to seat? Impossible! Bicycle seats are mainly to support the rider’s back and buttocks. This is perhaps why they are in a semi-reclined position. You should ensure that you get a comfortable saddle with an easily adjustable seat post. Saddles are mainly composed of four components.

They include the shell, cover, rails, and suspension. All these have an impact on the comfortability of the saddle. That said, like other mountain bike saddles, Diamond’s hardtail mountain bike saddle is fairly narrow, lightweight, rear shaped, reinforced and downward slope with medium padding. On the other hand, it features a DB Alloy Micro adjust 30.9mm seat post.

Quality Chain

Chainless bicycle? Yes, they exist, but not the Diamondback Sync’r hardtail 2018 bike. Bicycle chains transfer power from the pedals to the main wheel or the drive-wheel of the bicycle. Majority of bicycles chains are made of plain carbon and alloy steel.

However, some are nickel-plated to protect it from rusting and aesthetic reasons. Being a key element in power transmission, chains ought to be of good quality. This is what the Diamondback Sync’r hardtail bike satisfies. The bicycle features an SRAM PC 1130, 11 speed Powerlink chain for utmost power transmission.
