BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Diamondback Haanjo Trail. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
16 reasons to buy
- The inclusion of a Shimano Ultegra groupset was seen as excellent value.
- Bolts are affixed for two bottle cages as well as front and rear racks.
- A tall headtube height makes for a comfortable stance on long-distance rides.
- On-road performance impressed owners, when this rig was shod with slick tires.
- In addition to specced 700c wheels, 27.5” will also fit, with tires up to 2.1” wide.
- Front and rear 12mm thru-axles add stiffness and strength to this rig’s wheels.
- Wide-ranged Ultegra 2x11 drivetrains were smooth-shifting.
- Shimano hydraulic brakes were powerful, with one or two finger application.
- On alloy models, a stiff frame transferred pedal input efficiently.
- An OEM carbon fiber fork helped reduce vibration through aluminum frames.
- Carbon frames were light, strong and stiff.
- Compact drop bars are well-padded, for a comfortable and upright position.
- On both alloy and carbon models, HED Tomcat rims come tubeless ready.
- 40c Kenda Flintridge Pro tires were plush, fast and cornered well on and off-road.
- On Carbon models, Schwalbe G-One tires were tubeless ready.
- Colors impressed; orange-red on alloy models and petrol blue for carbon.
3 reasons not to buy
- A narrower bar width (440mm) limits handlebar bag options.
- A buyer was disappointed to find that Kenda tires weren’t tubeless-ready.
- Some riders had trouble with toe overlap on the front tire.
Bottom line
The Diamondback Haanjo Trail came available with either an alloy or carbon frame. It is a well thought-out bike that was ahead of its time upon its release in 2017. Brand new specimens are still available online, representing excellent value if you can find one. Being a huge direct-sale brand, Diamondback is able to offer a well-appointed build for a highly competitive price. With geometry that’s both comfortable and fast, enough eyelets to please bikepacking afficionados and a Shimano Ultegra groupset, the Haanjo Trail represents a good deal. On aluminum models, an alloy frame saves money, while a carbon fork adds compliance on chatter.Expert Reviews
