Give me reasons to why their good and bad.
Thank you.

we sell them at work... they are okay for the money... if your looking to spend a couple hundred bucks on an intro bike look into the mongoose brawler. we sell it at work (dicks sporting goods) for around 220 so thats a comparable pricerange but much better bike for the money.
the brawlers got a cromo front triangle and halfway decent parts on it. the diamondback joker has a hi-ten steel frame which is more prone to bend and break than a cromo frame will and a shit ton heavier.

hi tense steel dents easily.
my wtp reason frame is high ten steel and i dented the bottom of the chain stay when i was grinding.
ridebmxnc, you know a lot about trails but with the mongoose brawler have u riden one?
my friend has one as his first decent bmx bike and it sucks so bad. its heavy and it has terrible frame geoemetry. and its set up so weird, he went to put on a new sproket and there are like threaded washers holdin in the sproket and he couldnt get them off.
im just saying that i have to disagree with u here.

ya i meant to type the more prone to dent part too but i guess i didnt.
yeah i ride the brawlers around the store and out in the parking lot all the time. i really like the geo on it, but to each his own. never had a problem working on one either. as far as the weight goes, the brawler is a shit ton lighter than the joker. the brawler weighs around 27lbs, they dont even list the weight on the joker b/c its heavy as fuck. hell my bike weighs more than 27 lbs...
get the fbm over the other bikes listed in this thread.

There great bikes. I use to have a 2001 Joker. I opened the drop outs and made custom changes, put in a 3-pc, swapped rims and other stuff. Unless you have the will and the talent to custom build bikes I suggest you look for another bike. I have deep love and respect for this company and to this day keep rocking their brand. Diamondback has been around since 1978 and it looks like it's here to stay. I have a 2002 Mr.Lucky, 2001 Fester and I'm hooking up my friend with a Ju Ju.
