Rear Shock
The Megawatt Alloy 297 Factory has a rear shock with a travel of 170mm. The model Fox Float X2 is the one installed in this e-bike.

Wheels size

Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. Needless to say, a dropper post will come in handy on climbs and descends. You’ll fall in love with it at first sight!
