Fuel EX 4 29 components
Rear Shock
Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels size
The wheels on Fuel EX 4 29 are the 29″ aluminum type. 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
