Fork
The X-Rubi II comes factory-installed with the RST AERIAL fork. This has a travel range of 100mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the X-Rubi II bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The X-Rubi II comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
