5 out of 5 stars Extremely High Quality Bike (with a couple of minor exceptions)   June 27, 2009

Very impressed with the quality; its immediately clear coming out of the box that this is not a cheaply made bike. Even the training wheels are made from solid rubber and metal. Only had two issues. First, there were no assembly instructions in the box (although not really much to assemble; i.e., front wheel, pedals, handle bars, training wheels and seat). There was an owners manual with the bike (how to ride, safety instructions, adjustments, etc.) but nothing specific to this actual bike or its assembly. And secondly, the seat covering was trimmed short on a small spot in the back so that a couple of staples were not making any contact with the internal hard frame in the seat -- albiet minor, I would still consider this a defect in workmanship and might call the company about sending me a replacement. All considered though, we are delighted with the bike and trust that it will easily be in use for many years to come. Very highly recommend!!!

If you're like me and you don't feel like dropping $250 on a Specialized or Trek bike for your 4 year old, then the Diamondback Viper is the perfect solution. You might be thinking, "Heck, I might as well buy an $80 bike if I'm going to save money." Big mistake. My in-laws ordered one of the cheap-os for my kid's birthday. Total junk. Sent it back and upgraded to the Viper. It's very solidly built and has quality components. The training wheels are really durable. They're not the flimsy, rattly kind found on cheaper bikes. Yes, overall it's a little on the heavy side, but who cares. An extra pound isn't going to break your back lifting it out of the car.

My son who just turned 3 recieved this bike as a gift for being a child of a deployed parent. We had the bike club who donated it fit him and make all the adjustments for him. He literally jumped on it and sped away! He is still fairly new to pedalling, and this bike is AWESOME!

Very happy with this bike for my son. It certainly is solid and perfect for his size (age 6).
