Overview of components
Fork
This bike has the SunTour XCM HLO fork installed. The fork’s travel is 100mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Fork material
Hardrock Pro Disc has a steel fork, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.
Wheels
The wheels on Hardrock Pro Disc are the 26″ aluminum type. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, you will need increased suspension than in the case of 29″ wheels.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Specialized Hardrock Pro Disc has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
