Product Description
The dictionary defines recoil as Inch to spring or come back; react. Inch The Diamondback Recoil takes that definition to heart. Whether it is flying down the wide open trail or making its way through twisty tight single track, the Recoil Comp will react to what is under its tires and then spring back and be ready to take on what comes next. 29 inch wheels. The larger diameter wheel is taking over, and with good reason. The foundation for this is firmly laid with an all-new 6061 T-6 Aluminum Trail frame sporting 4 Inch of travel via the RockShox Monarch R air rear shock (more on this later). The frame uses a machine formed top tube and a butted and formed down tube sharing tubing from our nicer Sortie series. It uses a sealed cartridge bearing pivot and is built around an optimized single pivot design which is the simplest type of rear suspension because there are few moving parts. It consists of a pivot just above the bottom bracket, slightly up on the down tube and a single swingarm to the rear axle. Being that the rear triangle directly attaches to the rear shock, the shock has a more linear spring rate and offers good small bump compliance. Larger wheels are not the only improvement made to the 2013 Diamondback Recoil Pro 29. We've added a RockShox Monarch R air rear shock to compliment the Rock Shox Recon Silver 29 fork. This fork features rebound dampening adjust and a turnkey lock out. The lockout allows the rider to limit the travel to enhance your climbing experience. The Shimano SL-M430 Rapidfire 9-speed shifters control an Alivio front and an Deore rear derailleur. Combined with and the HG30 9-spd Cassette (11-32t) combined with the Shimano FCM-521 9-spd Octalink crankset ( 22/32/44t) give you 24 mountain crushing gears to choose from.

Recoil Pro
By B. OBannon
I bought this bike from the local bike shop about a month ago along with a Bontrager wireless computer. Currently, I have over 120 miles on this bike. For about $1500(taxes/etc), you get a great 29er bike with full suspension(air shocks front AND rear both with lockouts), 27 speed, 180/160 rotor-hydraulic brakes, wide handlebar and great performance. I rode it home from the bike shop as my bike carrier wouldn't fit(I now own the Highland Sportwing rack that carries bikes by the wheels instead of the frame and it works perfectly!) and found I did not like the seat. Therefore, I have replaced the seat with my old Bell Gel that I like; It's not too wide but still soft and comfy for long rides without the need for padded biker shorts. In the time I've own this bike, I took it back to the shop once to readjust the shifting mechanism for the rear as it was hanging/jumping gears. I could've done this myself, but, since it's under warranty I decided to let the shop take care of it. I am now convinced I will keep the bike and have since drilled/tapped for a water bottle cage underneath the main frame(my ONLY complaint). Now, for the good stuff: I've rode this bike day/night on streets, dirt roads, rock trails, sandy areas, soft farmground, through mud, in one foot of water, in the pouring rain, on rocky technical stuff, across the thick grass at the park, and pretty much anywhere else you can think of in that time period. Before this bike, I had a 26" full suspension, box-store Schwinn S25 which I bought new Geax tires, ProMax Rim Brake Pads, and a used Manitou air shock for the rear which I had rode the same way. This is a NIGHT and DAY difference! My favorite improvement has been the rotor-hydra brakes over the old rim brakes! No more mud/rock-gouging problems on my rims/brake pads. They squeaked a few times when they were new but I have not had one "peep" of noise out of them since! I miss the "nimble" 26" at times. BUT, the more I ride this bike, the more I like it! I also rode my friend's full suspension 26" Cannondale(a NICE bike) and I find this to be very competitive in nature. Just because this isn't a $3000 bike, doesn't mean this is a pile of junk. It has been a very good investment from my point of view. Again, other than the lack of a factory provision for a water bottle cage, I've found this to be a very good performer at everything I've done. Granted, I am not flying through the air every day; I did, however, get airborne about 3-4' high and about 10-12' long on a downhill portion at roughly 30mph. I felt in complete control the whole time. As for the factory, stock WTB Wolverine tires, they have not let me down yet. They do not feel bumpy/knobby on smooth roads and have not let go when I was in hard turns on dirt. Oh, I forgot to mention that my local bike shop installed HD thorn-resistant tubes AND cut the original tubes to wrap around the HD ones with no slime installed. I've had NO flats thus far; Again, I've rode this bike everywhere and I know I've pulled stickers, thorns, etc. out of my tires after rides. I do plan to install slime anyway just to be sure when I go places that are far from home. Another interesting note that you may be interested in is the weight. I took 2 different, digital bathroom scales and they both produced the same results. When I balanced the bike on the rear wheel the best I can several times, the weight was an approx 38 pounds. Remember, it is basically stock with a plastic bottle cage and HD tubes/stock tubes. Yes, this is considered heavy to the "hardcore" group but I've not had a problem with it. It gives me a good workout and I've had to carry this bike up some rocky cliffs I couldn't ride without problems. I suppose it might be about 5-7 pounds lighter if I were to use normal tubes, replace the pedals and handlebar with carbon fiber. However, at this point in my life, I'm not concerned about making things easy on me in regards to lightweight equipment. I want durability and, thus far, this bike has done a great job for the price! Finally, I would also mention that I've not seen another one on the trails anywhere I've been. But, I've gotten lots of interest, compliments, and head-turn/double takes as I ride this thing. I hope this review helps you as I was desperate for one when I was considering this bike for purchase. It's been a great value considering what you get for the money.

By Michael S. Hanson
The Recoil Pro 29er is smooth, solid, quiet, and comfortable. It shifts crisply, brakes precisley, rolls effortlessly, and glides over the rocks and uneven terrain with the 29" wheels and Rock Shox Suspension. I was concerned about the seat and how comfortable that was going to be. I was again, pleasantly surprised! This bike is an excellent "bang for the buck" spent. For those people who demand quality and don't have a huge budget, this is a great bike for you. I am one well satisfied owner!

Great Bike for the money
By David Koegel
I love this bike all but the noisy front disc brake. Ride like a dream and came assembled and tuned just had to put bars on and inflate the tires and shocks.
