Diamondback

Mason 2 Mountain Bike

You're not sure you want a full-suspension mountain bike, but you know you want a ride that you can take out to rip on the trails. Diamondback considers that, and the rider who needs a regular commuter as well as a bike that can do it all, from trails to gravel roads to adventure epics and commutes to work.

The Mason 2 is a hardtail that can be ridden as aggressively as you want on the trails you thought might just be for full-suspension riders. It'll take you where you want to go, without sacrificing features of style and versatility. This trail bike is the fun-loving ride you've been looking for.

It performs smoothly over the rough stuff thanks to its ultra-wide, 27.5 x 2.8 inch Vee Rubber T-Fatty tires. And, it's a durable model being constructed of aluminum for rigidity and general ruggedness. Thanks to a SRAM NX 1 x 11-speed drivetrain, riders will be motoring up climbs without hesitation. You'll have a great time on your favorite classic trail rides, and riding around town running errands.

This is a value-oriented ride, and that's shows in its aluminum construction and certain SRAM components. Still, it delivers high-quality performance. And, it has the added benefits of hydraulic disc brakes - SRAM Level T hydraulic disc brakes, to be specific. The Level T's deliver more stopping power than the standard Level's without the pocket-gauging cost of the Level TL's.
