Diamondback Joker 06 BMX bicycle

Date Published: 5/19/08

Designed for park, street and ramp riding, the Diamondback Joker is an affordable entry-level BMX bike. Whether you’re jumping stairs, riding mud ramps, or tackling any urban trail, the Diamondback Joker will handle it all. The durable freestyle steel frame may prove a little heavy for experienced riders but for beginners this bike is ideal. It is built to take a beating without doing the same to your wallet. With a solid 3 piece crankset, alloy rimmed wheels that will stand up to the heaviest landings, a detangler headset, and a host of Diamondback BMX components, this bike offers terrific value in the sub $200 price range. Aside from the heavy weight, the disappointingly weak brakes may also put off some experienced freestyle riders. For general dirt riding and jumping, however, beginners will find it hard to beat the overall value offered by the Diamondback Joker.


Pros: Strong, durable frame, 3-piece cranks, 48 spoke wheels, 4 pegs
Cons: Heavy bike, weak brakes.

Warranty
1 year, lifetime limited on frame
