The Mythique 29 VRX Mountain comes factory-installed with the Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork. This has a travel range of 140mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of aluminum, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Wheels
