Overdrive - 2013
Best uses for the Overdrive: Cross country ain bike riding
on beginner to intermediate singletrack trails, gravel or dirt
roads & paths, paved roads and commuting.
The Diamondback Overdrive is a ain bike which features:
* A high quality, lightweight aluminum frame.
* 29" wheels for getting over obstacles easier.
* •A suspension fork and disc brakes for a more comfortable ride
and superior stopping power.
Key features of the Diamondback Overdrive:
29" Wheels:
* Obstacle Roll Over – Larger wheels decrease your angle of
attack meaning the wheels roll over trail obstacles with less
impact, reducing igue and smoothing out the trail. Bigger
wheel = smaller obstacle.
* Momentum – A larger wheel diameter means better momentum once
rolling and faster rolling over obstacles and open terrain.
* Surface Contact – 29"wheels are less prone to sinking in soft
material such as sand and mud due to the larger contact patch
causing lower ground pressure. The longer contact patch increases
cornering and straight line traction.
* Stability – The relative position of the bottom bracket/cranks
to the axles in the wheels also means that your relative center
of gravity is lower. This results in a feeling of riding "in" the
bike rather than on top of it.
* Tire Clearance – with more tire choices than any platform, the
29"wheel easily accommodates off road as well as commuting tires.
Frame: The Overdrive features a butted 6061-T6 aluminum frame.
6061 aluminum is airplane grade aluminum while T6 refers to a
heat treating process that creates extra strength in the metal.
The butting process lets the thickness of the frame tubes be
varied; putting more material at stress points for added
strength, and less material at non-stress points for weight
savings. The final result is a sturdy frame that weighs less than
steel and many other aluminum frames on the market. Less weight
means it takes less energy to move the bike.
Fork: Suspension forks compresses over bumps to help absorb shock
meaning less jarring and body stress to the rider and resulting
in less arm igue while riding. When it comes to shock
absorption the Suntour 100mm/4” travel fork found on the
Overdrive will give you enough compression for getting over
roots, rocks, and pesky potholes in comfort.
Mechanical Disc Brakes: Mechanical disc brakes have better
stopping power than rim brakes in a wide range of conditions,
especially the wet and mud.
24-speed Drivetrain: With 3 chainrings to choose from on the
crank (front) and 8 cogs to choose from on the cassette (back)
you get to choose from 24 different gear combinations in order to
get you where you need to go.
The 2013 Overdrive a fantastic entry level hardtail 29er for
those looking for a great balance between value and performance.

Brakes: Mechanical disc brakes have better stopping power than
rim brakes, especially in wet and muddy conditions
Drivetrain: Shifters, rear derailleur, cassette, & chain have
all been upgraded to 8-speed compatible for a total of 24 speeds
to choose from
Wheels: Disc brake compatible wheels Upgrades from Overdrive:
Fork: Lock out allows the fork to be "locked out" or stiffened
for more pedaling efficiency on smoother surfaces, but also be
"opened up" for bump compliance on uneven terrain.
30mm Stanchions - Bigger stanchions equate to better steering
and less fork flex.
Brakes: Hydraulic disc brakes allow smoother stopping power,
aren’t effected by grit on the cable, & provide better braking
modulation while the larger front rotor means more powerful
braking for the front end. FrameOverdrive 29" Butted 6061-T6
