To guarantee the comfiest ride Diamondback used 7005 aluminum, butted material for the frame. Koski butted high strength material is used on the handlebar of this XR-8 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Koski.
For the smoothest biking experience Shimano Deore XT, 22/32/44 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Shimano CN-HG72 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Diamondback, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Deore XT RapidFire SL gear shift levers.
