Rear Shock
As for the rear shock, this bike has the Fox Float X2 Factory model, with a travel of 180mm. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Spindrift AL 29 Highend 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, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Spindrift AL 29 Highend comes with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
This bike is available in 3 sizes. They vary from 165 cm – 198 cm (5.41 ft – 6.5 ft). In conclusion, you won’t have a problem finding one that suits you.
Dropper post
A dropper post is included with the Spindrift AL 29 Highend. 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.
