In product description Says the bike has hydraulic disc brake but in the image I see a mechanical one. Which Kind of brake this bike has? Thanks

It definitely has mechanical, not hydraulic, disk brakes. We just received 2 of these bikes, and I've assembled one of them so far. Full specifications are on DiamondBack's web site: http://www.diamondback.com/bikes-mountain-womens-lux-27-5

Only the hand brakes, I have had used hand brakes for years, they work very well. One control works the front brake, the other the rear brake. We rented bicycles with a cruising bike, I almost was run over because the brakes did not engage quickly enough.

Yes, the bike has pedal brakes and handle breaks. We have been very happy with this bike!

This bike is equipped with a free wheel meaning if you push back words on the pedals you will not engage any brakes. It will jus spin feely. This bike does have handlebar brakes on front and rear. It does come with a kickstand.

Yes, I have used the Viper for both road and mtn bikes with and without disk brakes.

This bike has both front and rear hand brakes. They work really well too. I would have preferred the other type as I had never used hand brakes before. I am more familiar with them now and it is all ok.

I could not find photos of what I think may be two set of brake levers mounted with these drop ends, on a flat bar. Please give me the site photo, and I will try to help. Keith

I encountered the same problem. If it were not for the odor and the noise of the brake pads when ridden hard, I would really like this bike. I was hoping that I could find a set of replacement brakes/pads -- perhaps by a different manufucturer. Please post if you find a solution.

Yes, this bike has brakes. It's the type where the child pushes backwards on the pedal to stop (not hand brakes).

This is for a single rotor and caliper. You need to get two, but these are arguably the best mechanical disc brake you can get.

No, they are not setup for Disc brakes. Sorry, I haven't got a road disc setup on any bikes, so have no experience with it, so, no suggestions. Good Luck.

I agree with SPC. While I don't have disc brakes on any of my bikes, I don't see why it wouldn't work. There are two "pincers" to the rear frame and there seems to be some limited top/bottom - forward/rear adjustment to the frame anchor points.
