It may seem shocking to some, but there are still several situations where you're better off on a hardtail than a full-suspension mountain bike, such as when riding to class, dirt jumping, riding on smoother trails, or just cruising around the neighborhood. Enter the Diamondback Sorrento mountain bike, which offers the perfect blend of hardtail performance and rugged utility. The Sorrento--which shares the same practical reliability and good times as the Diamondback Outlook--offers several upgrades over its sibling, including an upgraded 6061 aluminum frame with an oversized down tube, an A-head threadless fork with a clamp-on stem, superior SRAM SX-4 seven-speed shifters, and an improved SRAM X.4 rear derailleur. The Sorrento is an ideal multipurpose mountain bike for trail or around-town use.
