Fork
The RockShox Recon Silver RL is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 140mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the AREON Xpert 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, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The AREON Xpert has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Sizes
There are 3 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 160 cm – 205 cm (5.25 ft – 6.73 ft). In conclusion, it won’t take much to find one that’s right for you.
Dropper post
CTM AREON Xpert includes 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.
