1988 Diamond Back reactor BMX Catalogue

Diamond Back asked their top three pro racers. Harry Leary. Eddy King, and Doug Davis, with 36 years total combined racing experience, to design a bike that would crush our competitors. The bike reacts to your every move with precise and predictable results. All control is directed through Diamond Back's new racing handlebar and stem. Power is applied through Diamond Back's newly designed alloy cranks, with the exclusive machined, removable spider. As you would expect, the component list is ear shattering. Reliable and powerful - that's the Reactor. Colors - Gray/Aqua/White, Chrome/Black/Chrome.
