Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this e-bike is ROCKSHOX DELUXE SELECT, with a travel distance of 145mm. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels size
The wheels on Decoy CORE 2 29 are the 29″ aluminum type. 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 e-bike itself.
