Diamondback Recoil Full Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Preview

If an affordable no nonsense full suspension trail bike is what you are after, look no further. Our Recoil is a rock-solid trail bike built around an extremely reliable optimized single-pivot travel full suspension frame.

Not to be outdone or overshadowed by its older brother, the Recoil Comp, the Recoil is a great bike in its own right, but at a slightly more affordable price. The Recoil is built up on the same heat-treated aluminum 4-inch trail frame as the Recoil Comp, but also offers such features as an SR Suntour XCT 75mm fork, Promax 320 mechanical disc brakes, SRAM X.4 eight-speed trigger shifters, an X.4 rear derailleur, and a WTB Pure V sport saddle. Add it all together and you have a bike that’s a little easier on your wallet, but not at the expense of either performance or quality.
