The Release 1 is the best of that lot. Nothing special but better than the others.
In the video it sounds like there's a cow bell on the bike so you might want to look at the Orange Five for a similar racket.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -

This is a 90+% UK forum, and Diamondback is not a popular brand here. I have an old one from the 90s but I've never even seen a new new one.
You might have more luck on a US forum.I don't do smileys.

We get some low level Diamondback hardtails in the UK, I think the two brands (US and UK) are now wholly independent of each other now.
How much MTBing experience do you have? I'm struggling to load from that site but the mission is quite a 'big' bike for a new comer.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
