Description
The Mission 2 is built up using the same revolutionary 6? all-mountain frame and many of the parts found on the top of the line Mission 3. No single ring / two speed transmission, but the Mission 2 is a very nice bike. Upgrades from the Mission 1 include a Fox Float R Air fork with a 15mm thru axle, SRAM X.7 Trigger shifters, and Hayes Stroker Trail hydraulic disc brakes.

Cons: heavy(ish)
Recommendation: really fun bike to ride. highly recommend you overlook the diamondback name, bypass that urge to overpay for a name you see in every bike mag, and ride a bike that is made to do it all. point it and go--up or down. give it the gas and it will roll over absolutely anything in your way.
BOTTOM LINE - the bike rocks - ride it, demo it, buy it - you don't ever need to overpay again.
