Overview of components
Fork
The SunTour XCM HLO is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 100mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the XC 859 LTD 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, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has 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, your safety is in good hands.
