If you"re having trouble trying to determine whether the comforts of a bike are more important to you than the efficiency of a road bike; get the best of both with a 2014 Diamondback Kalamar hybrid. It"s an affordable, no nonsense hybrid that doesn"t require giving up the farm to own. From the simple to the sophisticated, you"ll find the path, neighborhood and around town bike you"re after in the comfort geometry of the Diamondback Kalamar. Comfort, upright ride, 700c wheels The Kalamar combines the same relaxed contact point features of a comfort bike with the big smooth-rolling 700c wheels of a road bike. The heart of the bike is DB Hi-Ten Steel hybrid geometry frame with formed tubes and a Hi-Ten steel fork. Comfort, upright ride, 700c wheels We"ve combined simplicity with class by choosing to go with a simple 7 speed bike drivetrain comprised of a single ring up front with an alloy crankset and integrated chainguard. Shimano handles the drivetrain needs with the 7 speed grip shifters, rear derailleur and a rear cog with Mega Range Gearing to make climbing a breeze. Comfort, upright ride, 700c wheels Tektro linear pull brakes and Tektro levers with reach adjust round out this smooth rolling, smooth shifting machine. SSW700 Double Tunnel alloy rims offer up a durably built wheel that can go for days. A comfy cockpit provides precise steering and the suspension post with a comfort elastomer spring saddle offers a comfortable position and some cushion for those long rides.
