With a geometry designed to take big hits but with features conducive to a beginner, the Tess 20 Jr. Mountain Bike is Diamondback's introductory mountain bike for girls. Tess features a front suspension fork, an integrated chainguard, and durable Shimano twist shifters and derailleurs for trouble-free, single-handed gear changes that familiarize the beginning rider with the process of shifting. The six-speed twist shifter introduces the young rider to shifting without causing too much confusion, while the linear pull brakes help her get used to braking with her hands instead of her feet. The steel frame is built for both speed and riding the trails, with wide, knobby tires for traction on rocks, dirt, and scree.

I bought this bike for my daughters 8th birthday. I have aways liked and respected the Diamondback name and thought this bike would be another quality product. I was very disapointed. The bike is very heavy. The front shock is a joke, it does not compress at all. The shifter and rear deraileur broke after only 6 weeks of very light use. I am very disapointed. I also contacted Diamondback about returning this bike and they sent me a few nice e-mails and promised to contact Amazon but were no help at all. I still have this bike, I would LOVE to ship it back for a refund. Very disapointed and let down. I have 3 children and I will never purchace a Diamondback product again and I will never buy another expensive item from Amazon again. If I had bought this from a local store Im sure I could have returned it, but now I'm stuck with a junk bike.

Gears are impossible to shift, shock is sized for a 200lb adult, May 8, 2011

Jim Merrell "jimmer" (Hagerstown, MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Diamondback Girls' Tess 20 Jr Mountain Bike (2011 Model, 20-Inch Wheels) (Sports)

I just purchased this bike for my 8 year old daughter. She is a tough little girl, with strong grip. However, she can only downshift (like going from 1st to 2nd, or 2nd to 3rd), but not up shift (like going 3rd to 2nd, or 2nd to 1st). I think the shifting could be easily fixed by using a different style shifter instead of the twist-grip.

Also - the front shock will only compress when I put all of my 180 lbs over the handle bars. What a JOKE!

Like the other review, it is heavy, but that doesn't bother me much. It is bullet-proof.

I'm attempting to return it - we'll see how far I get.

Good bike. Needs adjustments, May 21, 2011

The bike is good but one needs to adjust everything before it is ready to use. My 8y old loves it. It seems like a very durable bike, it already took quite an abuse. Make sure to get a kick-stand (should have been included).
Regarding the front shocks. They are not designed to swing up and down when a kid leans on the handles. They work perfectly on the road for absorbing bumps. So no complains there.
The shifter was a little stiff in the beginning but it got better.
I'm glad I got this bike. It is much better quality than the $120 junk at toy stores.

About Kent Bicycles
A family-owned company, Kent's history dates back to the early 1900s when the current President's grandfather immigrated to the United States and got a job working for the owner of a bike shop in New York. During the process of restoring old bike frames, a love for cycling was born. In 1909, he opened his own bike shop on the Lower East Side of the city. This small bike shop led to a larger store in New Jersey where his father developed his own passion for the business. In 1947 he was inspired to start his own company, Philkam Cycle, supplying bikes and parts to stores all over the Eastern part of the United States. In 1958, the company changed its name to Kent International and has been supplying Kent products to fun-loving parents and their children across the nation ever since.

Assembly of the Bike:

Finding the Right Bike
To really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike:

The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:

Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.

The Right Price
A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.

Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.

The Right Size
Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:

Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height.
Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance.

The Right Accessories
When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons:

Helmet (this is a must!)
Seat pack
Lock
Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages
Spare tubes
Portable bike pump
Gloves

Comfort bike with lightweight aluminum frame
Dual suspension absorbs shock and offers smoother ride
Shimano 21-speed index makes it easy to ride on a variety of grades and terrains
Alloy stem adjusts to ensure proper fit
Soft saddle provides comfortable ride

I am 5'9" tall. I love this bike. It is comfortable riding on the streets of New York, not just a smooth bike path. The shocks and comfy seat saves me lots of aches. The higher handlebar is comfortable for my height and it is adjustable for shorter women. It not only adjusts for height but for arm reach as well.
I would recommend this bike highly as I'm very happy with this purchase.

The original bike delivered had a problem. It did not shift properly. Amazon resolved the problem by sending a new bike and a prepaid pickup slip for the damaged one. Great service. I will shop with confidence in the future on amazon.com. The Kent bike is great. We replaced the seat with a bigger more comfortable seat. Great bike!!!

I got this as a gift for my partner and she likes it. I test drove it and it works pretty well. It was fairly easy to put together although I needed to take it to a bike shop to get the brakes adjusted correctly. My only criticism is that the gear shifter is a bit weird and clunky and it's easy to get caught between gears as you're riding causing the bike to make a slight grinding sound. This is because it uses a twist adjuster so it's hard to gauge what gears you are on without looking down to see the number display. Of course as you are cruising through traffic this is not recommended! I may be old-fashioned or just haven't gotten used to it yet, but I prefer the traditional up-down push gears - you can tell where you are by feel. But it rides smoothly otherwise.

I don't usually wear cycling shorts that are quite this short, but I purchased these because they came in the color combo I was looking for and I also like the waistband. I was pleasantly surprised with the comfort and fit of these shorts. The slightly lower waistband really flatters my figure and they have a snug, but comfy fit. There's just enough cushioning (some cycling shorts feel like a diaper, but not these).

LOVE these!, April 10, 2012

LOVE these cycle shorts. I have been looking for a "shorter" pair for a while, and stumbled upon these. They fit well and are very flattering. They are a bit low cut in the front, which I like because they are NOT binding in the waist....if you are concerned about this, your cycle shirt covers them up well. LOVE them so much, I'm considering a second pair in a different color. I got the pink and black.
