Fork
This bike has the RST GILA fork installed. The fork’s travel is 100mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Opie bike is equipped with the 26″ aluminum model. The 26″ wheels are lighter than the 27.5 or 29″ wheels. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Opie comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
Opie comes in 5 sizes, that range from 156 cm – 195 cm (5.12 ft – 6.4 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
