Overview of components
Fork
The Giant Crest 34 is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 130mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Wheels
The Fathom 29 1 2024 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. 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. Giant Fathom 29 1 has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. 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
Fathom 29 1 comes in 4 sizes, that range from 163 cm – 198 cm (5.35 ft – 6.5 ft). In conclusion, it won’t take much to find one that’s right for you.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. 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.
