Backfire E R860i EQ components
Fork
The Backfire E R860i EQ comes factory-installed with the Suntour RAIDON fork. This has a travel range of 100mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Backfire E R860i EQ model has 29″ aluminum wheels. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Centurion Backfire E R860i EQ has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
