New Diamondback 2009 BMX Range

Diamondback have been around for longer than gravity.  In fact we seem to recall Isaac Newton had one, he used to grind up the steps at Cambridge with it.

After that Diamondback went from strength to strength, linking with top BMX names such as Doug Davis and Harry Leary. Now in 2009 Diamondback are still going strong, being represented by stars like Andrew Carpenter and Darin Read. They’ve also just released their new bikes…and they’re crackers! Their new range is stronger and more robust than ever. They have new cleaner lines and some cool new colours that seem a million miles away from the retro-chrome they sported back in the day.

They have a new bike for almost every discipline, but our favourite is the Accomplice (pictured above). This is Diamondback’s pro-level bmx and for the money, it’s a winner.
