2010 Diamondback Mission 2 Mountain Bike Overview
In 2007, when Diamondback launched their Mission series of all-mountain bikes, they wanted to "put the mountain back in the mountain bike". Of course, this was no small task and Diamondback needed to match their lofty dreams with true ingenuity. Fortunately for us, they were up to the task. What they came up with was the Knuckle Box bell-crank. Much like Dr. Emmett Brown’s Flux Capacitor which makes time-travel possible, Diamondback’s Knuckle Box encapsulates the entire rear-suspension and smoothes all six-inches of travel. This creates a much lower center-of-gravity and gives the Mission series its appeal. As the fan base can attest, the Knuckle Box is the true “heart” of the Mission. Now, upon first glance, one might think that the Mission 2 is an irrelevant bike caught in limbo between the lean Mission 1 and the luxurious Mission 3. In fact, the Mission 2 avoids middle-child syndrome and offers a perfect compromise between its sandwiching siblings. This bike has a SRAM X-7 9spd trigger that fits nicely between Mission 1’s SRAM X-5 and Mission 3’s SRAM X-9. Like the Mission 1 it has Hayes’ brakes, though the Mission 2 has upgraded to Hayes’ Stroker Trail model. Similarly, Mission 2 has an upgraded bottom bracket, better cranks and nicer rims. As with all Diamondback Missions, this is a solid bike. However, Diamondback’s second Mission entry offers some nicer components than the Mission 1 while preserving the predecessor’s frugality. Although it does not have Mission 3’s single ring and two-speed transmission, we believe Diamondback was being modest saying, “This is a very nice bike.”
