Overview of components
Fork
The Myst Pro 29/27 comes factory-installed with the RockShox BoXXer Select fork. This has a travel range of 203mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is FOX VAN RC, with a travel distance of 200mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Myst Pro 29/27 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. Saracen Myst Pro 29/27 has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
