The benefits of having two of the world's best freestyle riders are obvious. The 1988 Diamond Back Striker is the result of those two riders. The stem is Diamond Back rotor, low profile model, which holds the ACS new Pro Rotor in place. All the stopping is handled by using ACS Tangent Gripper series braking system, 48 spoke alloy rims give the bike its lightweight feel, but nothing is sacrificed in strength. New forks with dual position fork pegs fit any riders style. With these specs and Diamond Back’s renowned quality, coupled with a price to strike, this is the ultimate bike to own.
