<h2>Features Analysis - Let’s Dig Deeper!</h2>
Whether you are a person who likes looking into the details of whatever they want to buy before actually buying it or you are not a very detail oriented person, it is always safer to have a quick look at some important features of the product you are interested in buying before making the final decision.

This is particularly true when it comes to buying a hybrid bike. So, let’s get into it!
<h3>Tires</h3>
This bicycle comes with 700c rim size which is large enough to cover long distance commuting and give you a comfortable ride without feeling the bumps on the road.

The 32c tire width along with the gripping treads on the tires will hold perfectly on the roads and is suitable for off-road biking.

The KendaKwik tires are known for quality and provide a perfect rolling resistance as well as a good grip on the road.
<h3>Gears</h3>
It has 21 gears, three in the front and seven at the back. The front gears are in line with the pedals and the rear ones are in line with the axle.

It also comes equipped with Shimano shifters, derailleur as well as cassette which will give you rapid shifting.
Shimano shifters are known for their versatility to go on any type of terrain and for their smooth changing.
<h3>Brakes</h3>
The New 2018 Diamondback Insight 1 Hybrid Bike is fitted with Alloy linear-pull brakes to give you that quick stopping power and bring you down the hills safely.

The Diamondback company make a wide range of mountain, city and leisure bikes for adults and kids and are known for their safety features.

The main benefit of a linear pull system, apart from being very effective, is that you can do your own minor repairs.
<h3>Suspension</h3>
It does not come with a suspension since the bike is a combination of city and mountain bike. Unless you are planning to take this bike to extreme terrains, you won’t miss the suspension.
<h3>Frame</h3>
The frame is designed such to make it suitable for men or women who are looking for a good quality bike for city cruising or commuting.

It has an aluminum frame, integrated headtube as well as a performance hybrid fork. This will ensure the bike to be durable and very lightweight.

In case you didn’t know, aluminum frames are approximately one-third of the weight of steel frames. They do not rust and you can ride your bike no matter the weather.

Also, the bike does come with pedals but people are not so happy with them, so you may have to upgrade the pedals to something better according to your preference.

The pedals are not a high price component anyway, so replacing them should not become a dealbreaker.
<h3>Sizes</h3>
At the time of writing this review, the bike is available in two sizes and the company claims that it will suit riders from the height of 5’4” to 6’4”.

The company’s website has a guide for sizes and I would recommend you check that out. Their support is excellent and can clarify any doubts you may have.
<h3>Assembly</h3>
The bike is sent to you partially assembled, about 85%. The owner’s manual is very detailed to guide you through the assembly process.

You can make some adjustments to the size depending on the height of the rider. The tools needed are sent to you in the box.

However, as I always recommend, it will cost very little to take it to a bike shop for final adjustments.
