Amazon.com

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.

  • Steel frame is built for speed on dirt trails but with features designed for a beginner
  • Front suspension fork features 40mm of shockproof travel to ensure a smooth ride
  • Drivetrain provides 6 speeds; integrated chainguard

1.0 out of 5 stars Junk!, May 8, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Diamondback Girls' Tess 20 Jr Mountain Bike (2011 Model, 20-Inch Wheels) (Sports)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Gears are impossible to shift, shock is sized for a 200lb adult, May 8, 2011
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars 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.
