The Diamondback women's Lux Sport mountain bike provides the same good times and rugged reliability as the Lux, but adds an upgraded fork, crank set, sealed bearing bottom bracket, double-wall rims, and Hayes disc brakes. As a result, the bike excels whether you're cruising off-road trails or zipping down city bike paths. The Lux Sport hails from Diamondback's Devine Designs line, a series of women's-specific bicycles made up of mountain and comfort bikes, beach cruisers, and two different series of hybrids (traditional and performance). Each bicycle in the line features a similar look and feel, but includes several unique women's-only features that you won't find on Diamondback's men's bikes. Whether you?re looking to chase down (and pass up) the guys on the trail or you just need a ride to class, the Lux Sport has you covered. Other features include a butted 6061 T-6 aluminum frame with a strongbox top tube, a spinner 100mm suspension fork, and a WTB Devine Speed She saddle.
