Fork
The RockShox Pike Select is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 140mm. 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.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock model, which has a travel of 130mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels
The wheels on Habit Carbon 2 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.
