Diamondback Bicycles Insight 2 Complete Hybrid Bike, 20″/Large, Blue
Our insight line have long been rider favorites due to their versatility and ease of use. The insight 2 continues this tradition of great performance Hybrids stacked with features. This year’s bike still has its light and stable aluminum frame and fork, efficient 700C road wheels, a comfortable flat-bar cockpit for an upright riding stance, and quality Shimano drivetrain components. We don’t like to tinker too much with success, but for this year we did make a significant upgrade: disc brakes! the braking duties are now taken care of by powerful Tektro mechanical disc with 160mm rotors. This enhances the insight 2’s performance even more, allowing one-finger modulation and more control in wet conditions. For charity riders, commuters, and just tooling around the neighborhood, the insight 2 is a proven performer.

Nice bike for the money. For a hard-tail bicycle with no shocks anywhere, this is a pretty good bike. The disc brakes need to be broken in properly in order to avoid “the shakes”. My front disc brake would shudder and rattle like crazy until I broke the pads in good with some good hard stops. Derailleurs on these types of bikes can be tricky, so I took mine to a local bike shop to be assembled and tuned properly. It was well worth it. Personally, I think that this bike is worthless for off-roading. The ride is…
Great bike – but the quality appears to be lacking… Edited 11/23/2017:I had originally rated this as 5 stars with the title of “Great bike! but I changed the rating to three (and will likely change it again unless something unexpected happens). I’ve had lots of problems (four broken spoke) in less than two months. When the first one broke, I complained and Diamondback sent me some inner tubes to sooth my ruffled feathers after the first spoke broke. I’ve now lost a total of three more and had a replacement wheel sent. In…
Good if you have some knowhow on how to fix and replace things. Purchased this bike to ride through winter. Had everything I was looking for and was extremely affordable. The box arrived in good condition with no damage and the bike was safely stored inside. Assembly was extremely easy.The brakes on this bike are absolutely horrible. I would imagine having pads made of butter would do a better job of stopping the bike. Even after the normal brake bed in procedure the bike could not stop me going down my driveway hill regardless of how much…
