Overview of components
Fork

Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is FOX VAN RC, with a travel distance of 200mm. 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, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Myst Pro 29 model has 29″ aluminum wheels. 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.

When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Myst Pro 29 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
