Good entry level Mountain Bike

Purchased this about a month ago when it was on summer sale - and it's been a great experience so far. Gears shift smoothly and the bike overall is well constructed. The handlebars are wider than what I am previously used to (had trail bikes), and the extra wide 2.3 inch tires means you have to pedal a bit harder, but it's all good. I love the quick release front wheel option which means I can put the bike inside my station wagon when needed. Jury is still out on the disc brake design - not as grabby as traditional rim brakes. Overall good for hitting forest trails.

Runs better with Rigid Fork

I have the 2021 model The coil fork is not great it is better with a rigid fork recommended fork the salsa Cromoto Grande 29" Fork if you using the bike for a commute.

Diamondback Expresso 27.5

Overall great mtb, good quality parts and affordable. My only complaint is the clips for the brake and shift lines. They snap off with little force and lines then get caught on trail branches, etc. i replaced clips with small zip ties to solve the issue.
