INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Diamondback was once one of the biggest names in BMX and mountain biking. From legendary BMX race bikes like the Turbo and Silver Streak to World Championship-winning mountain bike teams featuring riders such as Cadel Evans, Susan DeMattei and Dave Cullinan, Diamondback helped shape cycling history.
So what happened?
In this episode of Bike Filth, we dive into the incredible rise of Diamondback, its early BMX dominance, its pioneering mountain bikes, Olympic success, corporate ownership changes and how one of cycling's most recognisable brands gradually lost its place at the top.
Whether you raced a Diamondback, dreamed of owning one, or only know the brand from more recent years, this is the story behind one of cycling's most fascinating names.
