Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the RockShox 30 Silver TK model. The travel on this model is 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.
Fork material
Factor 26 has an aluminum fork, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Rear Shock
The Factor 26 has a rear shock with a travel of 90mm. The model RockShox Monarch R is the one installed in this bike. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Factor 26 model has 26″ aluminum wheels. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, you will need increased suspension than in the case of 29″ wheels.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Mondraker Factor 26 is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
