Skaut 3.0 components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the RockShox Recon Gold RL model. The travel on this model is 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.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the RockShox Monarch RL rear shock model, which has a travel of 130mm. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Skaut 3.0 bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. 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 bike itself.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. CTM Skaut 3.0 has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
There are 3 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 165 cm – 198 cm (5.41 ft – 6.5 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
CTM Skaut 3.0 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.
