Overview of components
Fork
The Sugar 293 comes factory-installed with the Marzocchi fork. This has a travel range of 80mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Sugar 293 bike is equipped with the 29″ model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Sugar 293 has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
Sizes
Sugar 293 comes in 4 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In conclusion, you won’t have a problem finding one that suits you.
