Overview of components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the Suntour RAIDON model. The travel on this model is 100mm. 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
The Backfire E R860i 2022 e-bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. 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 e-bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Backfire E R860i 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.
