Tarpon components
Fork
The RST is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 63mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Tarpon model has 26″ wheels. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, you will need increased suspension than in the case of 29″ wheels.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek Tarpon is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
This bike is available in 7 sizes. They vary from 156 cm – 182 cm (5.12 ft – 5.97 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
