Fork material

Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the Fox Float Factory DPS EVOL rear shock model, which has a travel of 100mm. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Scalpel-Si World Cup bike is equipped with the 29″ carbon model. 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.
