Unless you’ve been under a rock, the newest trend in cycling is gravel riding. The Diamondback Haanjo 8C is the brand’s latest offering for all conditions.
The Haanjo 8C is Diamondback’s first all carbon adventure bike. Utilizing the fan favorite DB carbon frame with endurance geometry, this bike continues in the Haanjo tradition of rugged comfort, with a relaxed headtube angle and carbon fork.
This time around, they’ve added Easton EC70AX carbon wheels, as well as carbon handlebars and seatpost, making the ride even lighter while keeping the stability of WTB Riddler 700×37c tires. A Shimano GRX drivetrain keeps shifting smooth with gears that work with you to conquer pavement, gravel and dirt. A top-of-the-line performance bike that can do-it-all while keeping the rider comfortable.
Diamondback Haanjo 8C | $4,400
