Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has an aluminum one, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Rear Shock
The Fluid 6.3 has a rear shock with a travel of 120mm. The model Rockshox Monarch R is the one installed in this bike. Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels

Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
