Rear Shock
The Slide Trail 8.0 has a rear shock with a travel of 140mm. The model RockShox Deluxe RT3 is the one installed in this bike.

In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels size

Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Radon Slide Trail 8.0 is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. Therefore, climbing or descending will be a breeze.
