Expedition Low Entry components
Fork
This bike has the SunTour NEX fork installed. The fork’s travel is 63mm. 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.
Fork material
Expedition Low Entry has an aluminum fork, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Expedition Low Entry model has 26″ aluminum wheels. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Expedition Low Entry has Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
There are 3 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 158 cm – 187 cm (5.18 ft – 6.14 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
