CUSTOMER REVIEW
I purchased the 16 inch 2014 Diamondback Recoil Full Suspension Bicycle 29er for my wife and the 20 inch version for myself. I am giving these bikes 5 stars because they are exactly as advertised. The bikes arrived on time and in good condition. One box was torn up a little but there was no damage to its contents.
Assembly and tuning was pretty straight forward and most tools needed were provided with the bike.
A couple of observations that may help someone considering the purchase of this bike:
1.The description indicates that this is a beginner bicycle. I would disagree with that comment as I this is a very sturdy bicycle and in my opinion would stand up to some moderate trails without a problem. The suspension is adjustable and it has the amenities that a moderately experienced trail rider on a tight budget could appreciate.
2.Short riders (my wife is 5 feet, 4 inches tall) may find the 16 inch bike a bit large for them. However my wife loves the bike and was unwilling to get something else.
