Scout 290 Race components
Fork
The RockShox Recon Silver RL is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 140mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels
The wheels on Scout 290 Race are the 29″ aluminum type. 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
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Scout 290 Race 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.
