Overview
About this bike
Diamondback's Hook delivers a pure and simple mountain bike experience, reflecting the evolution of the hardtail: it’s light, responsive, and just plain fun to ride. This starts with the frame's slack geometry. Long and low, this bike is worlds apart from your ride of the past. It maintains the efficient power transfer and precision of cross-country hardtails, but it's tons more fun than bikes of old. Short chainstays and a low bottom bracket make it a blast to ride, especially while descending and cornering. Outfitted with a plush five-inch fork, single-ring drivetrain, 27.5to; wheels, disc brakes and wide handlebars, it's a modern take on the timeless mountain bike. As a hassle-free intro bike or a reminder of simpler days, the Hook doesn’t disappoint.
