DISPATCH 7/90 BLUE components
Fork
The SunTour XCT is included from the factory. It has a travel distance 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 7/90 BLUE bike is equipped with the 27.5″ aluminum model. The 27.5″ wheels are a great choice for smaller riders. However, the 27.5″ wheels are less forgiving than the 29″ wheels.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The DISPATCH 7/90 BLUE comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
