DISPATCH 9/90 components
Fork
The DISPATCH 9/90 comes factory-installed with the SunTour XCT fork. This has a travel range of 100mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the DISPATCH 9/90 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, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Felt DISPATCH 9/90 has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
