Despite what the description says, this bike does not have disc brakes. Not sure what else may have been misrepresented.
Follow-up
Okay, call me stupid but I decided to keep the bike anyway even though it was - and still is - misrepresented on Amazon. It comes in a box partially assembled. I unboxed and started to assemble it, only to find pieces were missing. There was no front cam axle to attach the wheel to the bike. There was no tool kit, that the Diamondback site claims is included. There are no assembly instructions, only an owner's guide. And there's no direct support on their website. They say to contact a local dealer, but of course they will charge for the missing parts.
In short, this sucks in every way it is possible to suck.
AVOID!!!

The top-of-the-line Diamondback Vital 3 sport hybrid bike is everything you could want in a hybrid. The Vital 3 includes such upgrades from the Vital 2 as Shimano cranks, Weinmann double-wall rims, puncture-resistant Kenda Cross tires, and an improved Shimano rear derailleur. The Vital 3 hails from Diamondback's Devine Designs line, a series of women's-specific bicycles made up of mountain and comfort bikes, beach cruisers, and two different series of hybrids (traditional and performance). Each bicycle in the line features a similar look and feel, but includes several unique women's-only features that you won't find on Diamondback's men's bikes. In the end, the Vital 3 is the perfect bike for any situation, including event rides, commuting, recreation, and personal fitness.
