Overview of components

The ARGOS Au – Shimano XTR comes factory-installed with the Fox Factory Float 34 fork. This has a travel range of 130mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Wheels
As for the wheels, Alchemy ARGOS Au – Shimano XTR 2022, has a 29″ aluminum model. 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. Alchemy ARGOS Au – Shimano XTR has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Sizes
There are 4 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 158 cm – 195 cm (5.18 ft – 6.4 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
The Alchemy model is also equipped with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
