Overview of components
Fork

Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The SolarisMAX Platinum Plus comes with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
Cotic SolarisMAX Platinum Plus bike has 4 sizes, in the range of 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. 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.
