It’s hard to believe that we introducedour version of the 29’er bike 17 yearsago with the original Overdrive, andnow here we are earning rave reviewsfrom everyday riders and journalistsalike. As stated in last month’s KnuckleBox column, if you have not yet tasted
the heart-pounding intensity of a 29”-wheeled bike then beg, borrow, or steal (wait, don’t steal) your way to the saddle of our Overdriveor Over-
drive Pro. To be perfectly honest, this bike flies! It’s a fairly simple sys-tem: the bigger the wheel, the smoother the ride, the greater your topspeed, and the easier it is to maintain that speed; an adrenaline junkiesbest friend. Check out whatBicycling Magazine’sChris Cassidy had tosay about the 2009 Overdrive in their Buyer’s Guide issue from Febru-ary. If his testimony isn’t enough, then read up on what one of your ownhad to say about the Overdrive Pro’s capabilities onwww.mtbr.com.David, a bike tech in Chattanooga, TN, provides his personal testimonyfollowing an afternoon of pure punishment on Raccoon Mountain. Hepraised the Pro by garnishing it with a perfect score of 5/5 chili peppers!I think there’s even a Diamondback Mission shout-out in this review; OHSNAP! Hey David, if you are reading this, thanks for your feedback andsupport.
