Fork
The RockShox Recon Silver RL is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 100mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels size
The DOCTRINE 5 2018 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The DOCTRINE 5 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
