Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the Fox Float X Factory 150mm rear shock model, which has a travel of 150mm. Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels size
The wheels on Rapcon XT-12 are the 29″ aluminum type. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
