Diamondback Haanjo 7C Carbon review

A versatile all-rounder suited to anything from sportives to trail riding

Diamondback Haanjo 7C Carbon
Cycling Weekly Verdict

I make a living writing about bikes, so I'm never having to compromise on 'one bike to rule them all'. If I was just getting into cycling or lived in a smaller flat, the Haanjo would be the sort of bike I would pick as an excellent all-rounder. I don’t road race any more, but with a bike like the Haanjo and two sets of wheels I could comfortably go from sportives to singletrack with one bike and still ride to the office on Monday morning. For a bike that could cover just about all of my cycling needs at the cost of less than the wheels I used to time trial on, the Haanjo seems like a great deal.
