Diamondback Response Comp 09 Review

Diamondback Response Comp

The Diamondback Response Comp is just like the Response Sport except with a few upgrades. This bike has been designed for beginner and intermediate riders, but can be on the higher end of the price scale.

If you are looking for a strong handlebar bracket and a durable frame, the Response Comp is for you. With stronger handlebars, you will feel more secure and confident while riding. The shifters perform the way they should along with the brake levers. At first glance, you will notice some hefty tires but this is perfect for getting ultimate traction on trails.

The front of the Response Comp has been designed for entry level mountain bike riders. Those looking for a lightweight bike would not want to consider the Response Comp as it is on the heavy side. This weight actually comes from the “Strongbox” top and the down tubes. The weight comes in handy when you really want to take the bike for a ride as it offers durability and reliability. This is a great bike for jumps, stairs, going downhill and more.

The new Response Comp 09 has new upgrades including Rock Shox Tora for, SRAM crank set, Power Spline bottom bracket and Avid mechanical disc brakes. The brakes are reliable when you hit those rocks and other tough terrain. Like most Diamondback Response Comp riders, you’ll find that this is a bike that really takes a beating. It will last you a long time when you want to go riding in your favorite mountain trails.

Above all, the Response Comp is also one of the more budget friendly bikes on the market. It is a great starter bike to train with and it offers its riders the confidence they need.
