Hey guys, I'm going to buy this used DB Insight, But I'm having a hard time finding which YEAR, and MODEL (Insight 1 or 2)

the Seller is saying it's a 2012.

after comparing all the catalog (2009-2013) I still can't pin point which it is.

the pictures are attached.

key components in my findings

Aluminum Fork (2011 insight 1 / 2012 insight 2 / 2013 insight 2)
4 spoke foot paddle/gear guard (2011 insight 1 / 2012 insight 2 / 2013 insight 2)

However none of them has the White/Black frame color.

So confused!!! and these are the only 2 pictures I can find on the internet with this color combination

thanks community!

Maybe because it's a 2010?

My wife has that model. It was purchased at Performance and I believe they touted it as an "Exclusive" Performance model. We bought hers in the summer of '12. I'm pretty sure it had to be a 2011 or 12 model for sure.

can't be, because of the deraileur gaurd. its different.

i think you go it! thanks for the help.

i was able to find this, but it doesn't show the year.

yea so now i wonder whats the difference between this one and the insight 1 2 or 3. wow you in Los Alamitos, me too! does she like the bike? do you think its worth 250$? the seller said it is pretty much brand new


yup, ok now I'm sure this is an 2011 model, this is pretty much is the 2011 insight 1, just different color for performancebike.com

thanks for the help guys!

I wouldn't sweat the difference between the 1,2 or 3. The differences are slight variations in the components. All 3 are low end, entry level fitness bikes. The reason I bought this bike for my wife was because she said she wanted to start to ride and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a bike and then find out she doesn't like to ride. Although it is a low end, entry level model you should be able to get 4 or 5 years of moderate cycling out of it trouble free (ours is 1 year old and I take very good care of it and I'd expect to get another 5 years with no problems). If you want to ride this daily, then things are going to wear out. My wife loves it and rather than buy her anything new in the future I plan on upgrading the wheels and tires and a few other things for now.

If it's the bike you want and it's virtually new, then $250 is $100 less than you can get it anywhere else. But from a private party there will be no warranty. I would offer them $200.
