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,

Pros
great value, suspension is smooooth and strong, pedals well, climbs well, downhill is butter, handles quickly
Cons
heavy(ish)
Review
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.

This bike is fun to ride, saved enough money to buy my mission and all my accessories all under $3000, love the suspension design. No pedal feedback, good climbing capabilities. You won't be dissapointed. Just pedals over everything!
