Diamondback Jr Viper BMX Bike Review

The Diamondback Jr Viper BMX bike has the same features as the legendary standard Viper, but has a lower frame. This makes it a great entry-level bike for children aged between eight and twelve.

It features a heavy-duty steel fork and frame and ‘icon’ grips. The seat is padded which is much more comfortable than the standard plastic seats that usually feature on such bikes. There are brakes for the front and back wheels, and 36 spokes to each wheel. Many BMX’s have just one brake, so this is a useful feature for children who aren’t yet fully confident on two wheels.

Diamondback Jr Viper BMX Bike Review Summary

The Diamondback Jr Viper BMX bike comes highly recommended. Most of the reviewers are parents of children who own this bike, and they were very impressed with its strength and safety features.

A lot of the children were given this model as a first two-wheeler bike, having grown out of stabilizers. Although such children can balance a bike, they are usually still a little unsteady and are developing their confidence. For this reason, many reviewers appreciated the fact that the bike has two brakes: a handle brake and a pedal brake. Also, the frame is slightly shorter to accommodate smaller legs, so this bike should be comfortable for youngsters.

Many of the bike’s parts are adjustable (such as the seat height and gooseneck) and some Diamondback Jr Viper BMX bike reviews pointed out that this means it will grow with your child and last longer. Assembly is straightforward as some parts come pre-assembled. All of the required tools are supplied, so you will not need to go searching around for anything.

If you are looking for a safe and sturdy beginner’s BMX, then we would certainly recommend the Diamondback Jr Viper BMX bike. It will last for years due to its adjustable features, and it is reasonably priced. Children love BMX’s and this will definitely get them noticed at the skate park!
