Diamondback Viper

The Diamondback Viper Bmx Bike is a sturdy, light and agile bmx racing ride, suitable over 8 years of age but also perfectly usable by not particularly tall adults. It is fun to ride on any surface and it is the perfect choice for teenagers fed up with riding around on a children’s bike. The Diamondback Viper is the kind of bycicle that, unlike many cheaper alternatives, if not abused will last for many years, due to its robust Hi-Ten steel frame and  the simplicity of its construction, which makes assembling, repairs and modifications extremely easy.
The base version of the Diamondback Viper is not the only one: there are the Viper Jr (or Junior Viper) and the Diamondback Viper X, each with a slightly different geometry and a unique combination of seat, handlebar, sprocket, brakes and tyres.

The Diamondback bmx bikes brand is well known in the BMX world for the quality of their products, and the Diamondback Viper is one of their classic models. The manufacturer offers warranties ranging from one year to the lifetime of the product (while owned by the original purchaser) on the different parts of the bike.
