Timber 26 Special components
Fork
The Timber 26 Special comes factory-installed with the RockShox Reba fork. This has a travel range of 100mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Timber 26 Special model has 26″ carbon wheels. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trailcraft Timber 26 Special is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. 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
A dropper post is included with the Timber 26 Special. If used correctly, a dropper post gives you more faith, maneuverability, and greater control over your bike.
