Diamondback 2012 Response Mountain Bike (Black, 16-Inch/ Small)
A hard tail with a 6061-T6 aluminum trail frame, SR Suntour XCT 100mm suspension fork, 21 speeds, Shimano Altus 7 speed rear derailleur, alloy linear pull brakes, and double wall rims. The Diamondback Response is an all mountain hard tail that features all of the above plus more. When the trial asks if you are gonna ride just show it your Response.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Diamondback Did Not Let Me Down
After a hard spill and some broken bones, I gave up biking for several years, but recently decided to start up again. I did my homework and finally decided on the Diamondback Response to help me jump back in. I bought the bike for $400 and it was an excellent price for the quality received. This bike is heavy duty, rugged, and durable. If Rambo rode a bike, it would be this one.

Assembly was much easier than I expected....and Amazon shipped very quickly! Not only is the bike aesthetically pleasing, but most of the parts are adjustable to configure the bike to your like and style of riding. All the parts are high quality....I honestly couldn't find one weak link in the whole design. I tried to put it through hell on my first outing and it didn't even flinch. Diamondback's reputation is secure....they did not let me down!

Ultimately, this bike safe and reliable. I would recommend it to any level rider.

Amazing price for a really solid bike - detailed review below
First a little background. I've been on 2 wheels (sometimes just one) all my life, I started riding long distances when I was younger, I rode BMX for about 10 years and recently getting back into mountain biking. Since I'm one of those that reads reviews before buying, I'll try to be as detailed as possible to help out whomever is reading this

Unboxing:

Obviously, this bike needs assembled. If you've never put a boxed bike together, don't freak out, it's really not that bad. The bike will come with the rear wheel, cranks, stem and handlebars already attached to the bike. You will need to adjust handlebar position, put on the front wheel and pedals (remember, left side pedal goes on opposite thread) the rear brake will need adjusted, the front brake is partially assembled, but you will need to route the cable. On mine, the front and rear derailleurs needed adjusted. If you haven't done this before, you might want to take it to your local bike shop, it can be a...
Great Bike but...
The Good: The bike is great for the money. Rides smooth, well balanced for jumps and carving turns, shifts are instant and authoritative, brakes are great for non-disc, saddle is as expected for a mountain bike, front shocks smoother than super cheapies, all around very happy... after road bikes for the last 10 years, I feel like a kid again jumping off curbs, through dirt trails, sand, etc. I cannot comment on extreme riding and durability of the bike as I'm a suburban rider thus far so for you crazies doing mach 10 down the side of a mountain looking at this bike as an option either; A. your not very smart for putting your life in the hands of a 300 buck bike and you deserve whats coming and/or B. maybe you need to get some help from a bike store professional before bombing face first down Mount Killamenowa.

The Bad (well sort of):
1. The plastic pedals are hilarious...why? and the thumb triggers for shifting cannot be adjusted :(

2. The bike is NOT...

Great choice for a VALUE bike!
The bike is a great value. Made of 6061 Aluminum, it is both stronger and lighter than bikes made 10 or 15 years ago. The shifting group on the bike is entry level but more than sufficient for this level of bike. The brakes are wonderful, and the tires, although heavy, are quite acceptable. The front shock is pretty much crap but shouldn't cause you trouble (i.e. it is unlikely to break), only extra effort. Overall, though, it is hard to find as much bike as this at this price level. The big brand names cannot touch this bike at this price.

So, should you buy it?

To answer this question, you have to ask yourself, "What do I want out of riding?" There are many valid answers to this question, so think about it. Are you planning on riding the local gravel trail in town? Are you planning on short trips around with the kids? Would you prefer to ride actually two-track trails with roots, stumps, rocks and sand? Or are you looking to do distance riding with...

value ride
The Diamondback Response Sport is a very good value in a hardtail mountain bike as you are getting a relatively high end frame design with mid range components. The modified top tube design is a strengthen design borrowed from higher end Diamondback models and similar to some Specialized bikes.

The only catch is that the shift levers and front caliper are not up to the same quality as the rest of the package. The platform pedals are OK for around town and park trails, but you may want to upgrade them for serious single track riding.

I combined this with a top quality suspension seatpost which I find to be the optimum combination of lighter weight and control with some softening of the roughest bumps. The Diamondback site and some retailers have a more complete description of which frame size is most appropriate for your height. The advantage of buying from Amazon is that you can readily get XS, S or XL frame sizes rather than having to settle for Medium or...
Good Solid Bike!
I just got my D-Back Response Sport 2 days ago. Package arrived 3 days from order using the free shipping, Way to go Amazon!.
Bike was well packaged and was easy to assemble, however the Hayes brake instructions could have been better. Still not that hard to figure out. Only complaint is that the bike came with a Shimano Tourney front derailer and not the listed derailer. It works fine and shifts well so I'm not really dissatisfied. It also came with metal D-back pedals and not the resin pedals some people have replied on before. I'm 270 lbs. and wanted a strong bike, this appears to be just that. Time will tell and I will post follow ups as time goes by.
Seat was a little on the hard side for my big bottom side so i replaced it with a Sunlite Cloud 9 seat that has been a big improvement.

*Note* I got the 18" frame and it is perfect for my 5'10" size.

Diamondback 2013 Response Mountain Bike with 26-Inch Wheels  (Red, 22-Inch/X-Large)
Whether you are new to the trails or a seasoned singletrack rider, the Response series offers uncompromised performance without compromising your bank account. Compared to a full-suspension mountain bike, a hardtail is better suited to several situations, such as riding to class, buffed-out trails, or just cruising around the neighborhood. Combining the perfect blend of hardtail performance with rugged utility, the Diamondback Response is a value oriented build ready for any new rider or common-sense lover. At the heart of each Response is our rugged Diamondback 6061-T6 aluminum frame with formed top and down tubes providing strength and style with clean lines. A machined headtube adds strength and style while forged drop outs with a replaceable hanger add the finer touches. The components provide more proof of our commitment to providing you with the most appropriate package and value for your money. A SR Suntour XCT 100mm travel fork soaks up bumps large and small, without being overkill. Also on deck is a set of Tektro Alloy Linear Pull brakes which are a light and simple solution to stopping your rig on a dime. 32h Weinmann MX260R Double wall rims laced to 32h MX260H alloy hubs combine to make a durable and long lasting wheelset. The tough alloy arm crank set (24/32/42t) is a good match for the Shimano TX50 front derailleur, the Shimano Altus 7spd rear derailleur and Shimano HG20 7spd Cassette (12-28t). This combo provides more than enough gearing options to get you where you want to go when you want to go there. Diamondbacks signature alloy SL318s stem and riser bar create the perfect cockpit while the SL309p Alloy Micro Adjust 30.9mm post and DB low profile All Mountain saddle ensure that you can pedal all day long. The Response is red and is available in XS (14"), SM (16"), MD (18"), LG (20"), XL (22"). If a solid, reliable, and affordable all-purpose mountain bike is what you’re after; a Response is the obvious choice.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Good bike
Shifts good, quiet, looks good, good quality, and just to let you know it comes with out a kick stand which was good for me because most kick stands rattle over rough surfaces.
I use this bike for riding rough back country roads,and it does well.

Great bike!
The instructions are confusing as they cover a multitude of models. Written instructions refer to the illustrations and the illustrations are quite minimal, sub-par in my opinion. Fortunately, I am mechanically inclined so I could muddle through. The bike, however, is fantasic! Looks sharp, rides well, handles all kinds of terran beautifully, including dirt, sand, grass, roots, ruts and muck. The seat feels hard and unforgiving, though, so I purchased a more comfortable one for about $20. I have never mountain biked before, but I took this one out on the trails last weekend, and as far as I can tell, this bike appears to be a good one.
