ATX 27.5 2 components
Fork
This bike has the SunTour XCT fork installed. The fork’s travel is 100mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Wheels
The wheels on ATX 27.5 2 are the aluminum type. 650b wheels make a great choice if you want to sacrifice speed for comfort. However, if speed is what you’re after, 700c wheels are a better fit.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The ATX 27.5 2 has Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
