Diamondback Overdrive Carbon Pro 29

Race level carbon performance at an affordable price

Finding the balance between performance and price can be difficult. It wasn’t easy, but Diamondback achieved just that with the new Overdrive Carbon Pro 29, a race-ready lightweight carbon hardtail that your wallet will appreciate. The Overdrive Carbon Pro is Diamondback’s flagship hardtail and it’s spec’d with industry leading components creating a very impressive build for the price.

Powered by SRAM’s GX 11-speed 1x drivetrain, the bike provides an ultra-wide range of gears for easy climbing while avoiding the clutter and mechanical issues of running a front derailleur. A Rockshox Reba RL fork smooths out the trail under you with the renowned Charger damper and the Shimano SLX brakes provide excellent modulation and power while descending. The large 29” wheels maintain high rolling speeds and have a much easier time monster trucking over obstacles than smaller 27.5” and 26” wheels.

Another key feature of the Overdrive Carbon Pro is the tubeless ready wheels. Installing a tubeless setup on your bike allows you to run lower pressure without getting pinch flats. This increases your overall traction and control on the trail. Tubeless sealant also takes care of any small punctures that want to end your ride. If you like unparalleled grip and fewer flat tires, tubeless is the way to go.

Whether you are looking to get into XC racing, or just want a fun carbon bike to take to your local trail network, you can charge with confidence knowing you have a full carbon frame with a high-end build guiding you down the trail. Diamondback has presented cyclists with the opportunity to buy a race-ready carbon XC hardtail, without emptying their bank account. Experience high-end performance at a fraction of the price. Buy an Overdrive Carbon Pro today!

Features

  • Carbon fiber XC hardtail that doesn’t break the bank
  • 29” wheels maintain speed and roll over all obstacles
  • Hydraulic Shimano brakes provide powerful braking with modulation
  • SRAM 11-speed 1x drivetrain offers a simple wide range of gears

Couldn't be happier
I bought this bike in October last year. I have been riding it hard about 3 plus days a week. The more time I have on this bike the more confidence it puts in me to tackle more technical riding. The frame geometry, shock, brakes and gearing are spot on. I had to replace the bottom bracket from muddy riding. The 1x drive train will go through chains quicker. Other than that this bike has been super reliable. I highly recommend a chain checker. Chains are way cheaper than drive trains. I upgraded the through-bolt QRs with Robert Axle bolts. I also bought another set a rims with faster tires to use as a Cross. As far as MTB tires goes I run a Nobby Nic on the front and a Racing Ralph on the back. I'm a big believer in Hardtails. Less weight, more room for another cage and less energy loss on the climbs. If your going over big logs and stuff then get a full suspension but for 90% of the riding most people do they will be fine on front suspension. Higher end bikes have a dropper post(a nice feature but I am mostly off the seat with the seat between my thighs and one more thing to break). Shock adjusting on the handle bars. Again nice but another thing to break. The Rock Shox is super easy to lock out on a climb. Just twist the knob on the top of the shock. I bought this bike without trying it out so I was nervous about my purchase. Jenson was great. Fast shipping and the bike was well assembled. Diamondback nailed it with this bike. Thanks.

Amazing bike
This is an amazing bike. It is my first carbon and it is super light. The first ride I had on it was fast, almost too fast. It is very nimble on the trails and I can’t wait to really push it to limit. I couldn’t believe the price with it being on sale, and how well this bike is.

I give this bike a 95 out of 100.
I love this bike. For the last 6 1/2 years I have been riding a full suspension specialized stumpjumper and it is a great bike but I wanted something that was a lighter and I could get up the mountain faster on. This bike definitely does that. My bike came to me a little over 26 pounds for the large and the first thing I did was change out the honey badger tires. My riding is primarily in the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico so I needed something with more tread. I went with Schwabe Naby Nic‘s and made them tubeless. What a difference! I think it even lightened my bike by several ounces. Since I am doing a lot of technical climbing and descending I also needed a smaller gear so I changed out the 34T for a 30t chain ring. I am now climbing trails almost twice as fast as I can with my stumpjumper. The carbon frame and reba suspension fork are both very compliant and I am pleased with how the bike rides even over the rough stuff. Of course I am out of the saddle a lot more and I have to be careful on the descents to get way back in the saddle with a 71° head tube angle. Overall I am like a kid with a new toy and at 70 I have I knew joy for my mountain bike outings.

What. A. Deal.
I've had this bike a week now and can't get enough of it. Paid under $1,400. I weighed it right out of the box before installing pedals, and after removing the safety decals and reflectors, it came in at 24 lbs even (size large- I'm 6'1" and 170lbs). It comes with platform pedals put I put Shimano SPDs on it (will upgrade to eggbeaters soon). It is SO FUN on fast flowy trails! Returns big grins every time. I don't even miss my old full suspension bike I sold to get this one. The 29ers and carbon frame soak up a lot of the bumps. Be careful on jumps! This thing is so light it'll send you into orbit. It's sexy to look at, and calls my name like a siren every time I steal a glance at it. Can't bear to put it away after each ride, so it sits in my living room, tempting me each morning to call in sick and spend the day on the trail.
My only small nitpick is I wish it had the SRAM Eagle 12 speed, as the 1st gear isn't quite low enough for some of the trails I ride. But, it is an XC bike so the gearing is appropriate in that regard. I may drop the front sprocket down to a 30t if it'll fit (came with a 34t).
At the moment you'd be very hard pressed to find more bike for the money. It's going to be a long, sad winter (thank goodness for skiing).

Nice bicycle
it is a very nice bike for the price. I used to ride 20 year old bike before so it is definitely a huge upgrade. It is light and fast and the components are of decent quality.

New Overdrive carbon Pro
I purchased this bike for a son. He was excelling at NICA racing on an enduro bike and we started looking at used hard tails. When compared to Pin Bike pricing on signature brands, you can get the new overdrive with warranty. I would buy this bike again in an instant, and it has me thinking about Diamond Back on full Suspension purchases going forward. The amount of bike you get for the money is amazing and the shipping process from Jensen was easy.

Worth Every Penny
I’ve never had a high end bike before but let me tell you, one can tell the difference right off the bat! This bike is so light, shifts s smooth, absorbs the shocks of the road/trail so well, it’s a mind blowing experience!

Yeah, it’s a lot of money, to be sure, but it’s worth it ????????

What is the weight of this bike?
Does the newer model year of this bike have any features this bike does not have?
Thanks
Bob on Mar 1, 2019
BEST ANSWER: 24.8 was what is listed on my Jensen build sheet (from the tech that went over it prior to shipment). That weight measurement is likely without the included platform pedals. On a side note, I took off the suspension fork & replaced it with a Whiskey 9 Mountain fork & dropped more than 1.5 lbs. I also have titanium & magnesium pedals. The bike is very lightweight (all things considered). Eventually I will try to get it closer to the 21-lb territory once money is available in my bank account!
Is it true that this bike does not have boost spacing??
A shopper on Jan 2, 2019
BEST ANSWER: It does not have boost spacing, maybe that's why it's on sale? It's super light and fun to ride...
Can I put a dropper posts on it?
Cyr V on Mar 31, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes you can, but it doesn't have internal cable routing so you have to get an externally routed dropper.
Does this bike have the remote fork lockout? The reviews I read elsewhere says it does, but the picture on here does not show a remote fork lockout cable.
A shopper on Jun 18, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Nope, however you can adjust compression on the fork itself.
How wide of a tire will fit on this bike?
CO Crawler on Jun 17, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I run 2.35 on this bike, good clearance, might be able to fit wider. 2.35 fits nicely.
Will the SRAM GX rear shifter work with a SRAM Eagle cassette?
A shopper on Apr 25, 2019

Can I install a dropper posts on this frame?
Cyr V on Mar 20, 2019
