Diamondback Octane Jr Boy's Mountain Bike (20-Inch Wheels) Review

Diamondback Octane Jr Boy's Mountain BikeI was pleasantly surprised at the quality, finish and packaging of this product.It showed up UPS (free shipping) after 5 business days in perfect condition despite some damage to the box.The Shimano derailers work perfectly & adjustments for the derailers & brakes are also well designed.The derailer guard is a very nice addition for a Jr. bike that I wouldn't have thought of.Front shocks are pretty firm, which is great.Some of the big-box store bikes have suspension, but they bottom out easily.The diamond front suspension is perfect by comparison. It's more expensive for sure than the $100 bikes you see on Amazon, but it is definitely worth it.My son is average height at age 8.5 & he could have been on this bike a year ago.I'm sure he will get a good 3-4 years out of this frame size.
