Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the FOX FLOAT X2 Factory rear shock model, which has a travel of 160mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.

Dropper post
The Zerode model is also equipped with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
