The rattler Overdrive may be a bicycle that features:
- A prime quality, light-weight metallic element frame.
- 29" wheels for obtaining over obstacles easier.
- A suspension fork and disc brakes for a easier ride and superior stopping power.
Key options of the rattler Overdrive:
29" Wheels:
- Obstacle Roll Over – Larger wheels decrease your angle of attack that means the wheels roll over path obstacles with less impact, reducing fatigue and smoothing out the path. larger wheel = smaller obstacle.
- Momentum – a bigger wheel diameter suggests that higher momentum once rolling and quicker rolling over obstacles and open piece of ground.
- Surface Contact – 29"wheels ar less susceptible to sinking in soft material like sand and dust because of the larger contact patch inflicting lower ground pressure. The longer contact patch will increase cornering and line traction.
- Stability – The relative position of the lowest bracket/cranks to the axles within the wheels additionally implies that your relative center of gravity is lower. This leads to a sense of riding "in" the bike instead of on prime of it.
- Tire Clearance – with a lot of tire decisions than any platform, the 29"wheel simply accommodates off road additionally as commutation tires.
Frame: The Overdrive options a butted 6061-T6 metallic element frame. 6061 metallic element is aeroplane grade metallic element whereas T6 refers to a heat treating method that makes additional strength within the metal. The butting method lets the thickness of the frame tubes be varied; swing a lot of material at stress points for else strength, and fewer material at non-stress points for weight savings. the ultimate result's a durable frame that weighs but steel and lots of different metallic element frames on the market. Less weight suggests that it takes less energy to maneuver the bike.
Fork: Suspension forks compresses over bumps to assist absorb shock that means less jarring and body stress to the rider and leading to less arm fatigue whereas riding. once it involves shock absorption the Suntour 100mm/4” travel fork found on the Overdrive can offer you enough compression for obtaining over roots, rocks, and vexing potholes in comfort.
Mechanical Disc Brakes: Mechanical disc brakes have higher stopping power than rim brakes in an exceedingly big selection of conditions, particularly the wet and dust.
24-speed Drivetrain: With three chainrings to settle on from on the crank (front) and eight cogs to settle on from on the container (back) you get to settle on from twenty four completely different gear combos so as to induce you wherever you wish to travel.
The 2013 Overdrive an amazing entry level hardtail 29er for those yearning for a good balance between price and performance. If the Overdrive isn't quite the proper 29’er for you please investigate the opposite bikes in Diamondback’s hardtail 29’er family below.
