Steel is real, my friend! If you had one bike that could survive a theoretical plague of the undead, it’d be the Diamondback el Oso Uno. Oddly enough, you’d be riding through said apocalypse with a great big smile on your face, because in addition to being bulletproof and capable of carrying you and your gear over any kind of terrain (check out the rack mounts), this bike is just plain fun to ride.
MSRP: $749.99
Aboard el Oso Uno, you can survive anything the trail throws your way — be it rock, sand, snow or the occasional zombie horde. Ready to jump on this steel bear? Get it here.
Ok now laddddies. I won't leave you hanging! The Diamondback Lux Comp provides quality features for women looking to get into mountain biking - and for those who already are. The women’s-specific frame provides a little extra standover clearance, making it easy to challenge yourself on new trails. The 27.5-inch wheels paired with Schwalbe Rapid Rob tires roll well over obstacles and deliver great traction, letting you chase after your friends. Thoughtful women’s-specific touchpoints – including a Devine Edition women’s saddle, DB Laser 720mm handlebar, and narrower grips – add to a great package to get you shredding.
