1988-diamond-back-viper-bmx-catalogue

This is the bike our competition has been chasing for years. Well, the distance between us and them just got bigger. Using the same frame and fork as the DB Reactor, the trick cable guide gusset adds extra smooth, permanent brake cable routing. Now you can get the same awesome handling the Reactor has but at the legendary 1988 Diamond Back Viper price. No sacrifice here. Quality components stand out on this bike. ACS Tangent series braking system, Tioga drive system cranks and spider, alloy pedals, Skinwall racing tires, and lots more! You get the picture - Viper, the legend grows. Colors - Red/Black/Chrome. Chrome/Black/Chrome.
