The Overdrive Sport is a great mountain bike for someone who is looking for a trail worthy rig that won’t break the bank. Based on the popular 29 inch wheel platform, this aluminum framed hardtail packs a performance punch that even picky riders can respect, but delivers it with the value you deserve.

Mountain bike trails can present minefields of obstacles both big and small, and short of a monster truck, nothing rolls over these like 29 inch wheels. Larger diameter wheels attack objects with greater ease. This superior ability to roll over rocks and roots makes it easier for you to traverse any trail, and it also reduces your reliance on suspension. Throw into that deal the best traction and flat out speed of any wheel size, and you’ve got serious fun on your hands.

It used to be that mountain bikes came with rim brakes, but disc brakes have become the norm for a whole host of reasons. Old rim brakes weren’t always really reliable, especially in wet, muddy conditions or if the rim was dinged and damaged. Disc brakes stop better in all conditions and operate independently of the rim, so even if your wheel has a wobble, you can still brake consistently, all of which keeps you confident and in control.
