2015 Diamondback Sync r with Mavic Crossrides.

Diamondback Sync'r

Only upgrade so far is a set of Mavic Crossrides.

I've only hit the trails once so far because of widespread flooding Cry (and truthfully I really shouldn't have gone because of how waterlogged all of the local trails are, but we've had 1+ month of daily rain, and I couldn't handle it anymore)

All in all, fun bike. Awesome geo, fun as an aggressive xc/trail bike.

Eventually looking to put an air fork and dropper seatpost on it, and I'll probably replace the grips... but everything else is awesome!

Looks amazin, and I bet rides amazing too

Just swapped out the air shock for a coil. I think it rides a lot better. More stable

Looking into getting the 2015 recoil saw it in amazon for $525 it seems a good price for a full suspension mountain bike. would you recommend this bike?

It is a good bike there is allot of hate for them. Now you will have to upgrade the brakes and shocks to make it sweet and it gets allot lighter. I ordered all my parts through Merlin cycle in England they were cheap on all their prices. it became allot lighter and responded well. I had to sell mine though to upgrade to my new Trek fuel ex 7. I will miss it.

Interesting! I didn't know a coiled shock could be installed on the goat....

Snapped my diamondback. Crappy welds . Got a Santa Cruz, and it's amazing

It can be done. It does take a little bit of work. You need to remove some areas form the knucklebox.

Thanks guys! This is a 27.5+ setup.
I have the 27.5 Easton Arc30 wheels with specialized ground control 27.5 x 3.0 tires.
Its only slightly smaller than a 29er setup and shouldn't negatively effect geometry.
Clearance is tight but no tire rub at 20psi. This tires grip like crazy!
The ride is much smoother, almost like a inch or two of suspension in back.
I'm having some fun on this setup. It completely changes the character of the bike.
