Diamondback Lux Women's Mountain Bike (2011 Model, 26-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this bike from Sports Chalet 2 month ago. It is light and suspension is good, but stainless steel parts (brakes, spokes) on the bike started to rust after only one month. I've never seen anything like that even with cheap bike I had before. Today I had a spoke broken, and I can see that it's just rusted all the way through. Weight or hard riding was not a problem, I'm only 100 pounds and was riding on the roads. Will take it back to Sports Chalet and see what they will tell me.

Looking for a serious bike that's suited to the trails but don't want to spend a fortune? Turn to the Diamondback Lux women's mountain bike, which offers everything you need to get started down the trail toward better fitness. The Lux hails from Diamondback's Devine Designs line, a series of women's-specific bicycles made up of mountain and comfort bikes, beach cruisers, and two different series of hybrids (traditional and performance). Each bicycle in the line features a similar look and feel, but includes several unique women's-only features that you won't find on Diamondback's men's bikes. The Lux is outfitted with such details as a butted T-6 aluminum frame with a Strongbox top tube; a Spinner 70mm suspension fork; an Avenir 100 Series stem, bar, and seatpost; Truvativ X-Flow cranks; SRAM X.4 eight-speed trigger shifters; and a WTB Devine Speed She saddle.
