Hey, I have a Diamondback Outlook Sport 2003 with RST 156 E suspension (60mm travel). The frame of the bike is alloy 7005. would i be able to go on rocky terrain (not hardcore, just like small gutters everywhere) or would it snap the frame or break the suspension. If i can't, what would I be able to go on?

Thanx

That's a very strong frame, I bet it can take about any terrain you can ride. I have a friend who rides a similar frame and he weighs 250 lb's, I'm not sure what that is in grams or stones but he is a VERY big boy and his frame has taken all the abuse he can dish out. Even if you break it Diamondback has one of the best warranties. I had to use my warranty on a DB last year and they were very cool about it. Have fun!
