Overview
About this bike
The Lux 3 is a nimble trail bike that rockets up climbs, yet stays planted and stable through rough sections and descents. The women’s-specific frame design provides extra standover clearance and that, in turn, makes maneuvering the Lux in technical terrain absolutely effortless. Diamondback also equipped the Lux 3’s light yet strong aluminum frame with an assortment of truly dirt-worthy components. The RockShox Judy Silver TK fork provides 120mm of front suspension that increases control on the toughest of trails. When it comes to braking control, powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes have few peers — which is why you’ll find them bolted to the swank Race Face Aeffect 35 handlebars. Last, but not least, Diamondback opted to ditch the front derailleur in favor of SRAM’s GX single-ring drivetrain, which provides greater simplicity and outstanding shifting precision. The Lux 3, in other words, just raised the bar.
