Overview of components
Fork
The Cake 3 DLX GS comes factory-installed with the Manitou fork. This has a travel range of 120mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.

When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Cake 3 DLX GS has Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
