Rear Shock
The Ridge 29″ has a rear shock with a travel of 130mm. The model RockShox Monarch RL is the one installed in this bike. Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Ridge 29″ model has 29″ aluminum wheels. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. CTM Ridge 29″ has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes

Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. If used correctly, a dropper post gives you more faith, maneuverability, and greater control over your bike.
