SWITCHBLADE Team XTR w/ Fox Live Valve components
Fork
The SWITCHBLADE Team XTR w/ Fox Live Valve comes factory-installed with the Fox Factory Float 36 fork. This has a travel range of 160mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels size
The SWITCHBLADE Team XTR w/ Fox Live Valve 2022 bike is equipped with 29″ carbon wheels when leaving the factory. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Sizes
There are 10 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 147 cm – 200 cm (4.82 ft – 6.56 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
