Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the Fox Factory Float 38 model. The travel on this model is 180mm. 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
When it comes to wheels, the Giga 290 Carbon Factory (Sram) bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. 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.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Nukeproof Giga 290 Carbon Factory (Sram) has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. If used correctly, a dropper post gives you more faith, maneuverability, and greater control over your bike.
