G15 Shimano XT components
Fork
The G15 Shimano XT comes factory-installed with the RockShox Lyrik fork. This has a travel range of 160mm. 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.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the EXT Storia LOK rear shock model, which has a travel of 145mm. Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels
As for the wheels, GeoMetron G15 Shimano XT 2021, has a 29″ aluminum model. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. GeoMetron G15 Shimano XT 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.
Dropper post
The GeoMetron model is also equipped with a dropper post. Therefore, climbing or descending will be a breeze.
