Overview of components
Fork
Centurion Backfire E R2600i 2023 e-bike is equipped with the RockShox 35 Gold RL fork, and has 110mm travel. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels
The wheels on Backfire E R2600i 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 e-bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
