The Growler 740 comes factory-installed with the SunTour RAIDON 32 fork. This has a travel range of 120mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Growler 740 bike is equipped with the 27.5″ aluminum model. 27.5″ wheels are a mixture between 29″ wheels and 26″ wheels. However, these wheels have a slower top speed if you compare them to 29″ wheels.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Rocky Mountain Growler 740 has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
