Overview of components
Fork
Kona Splice 2012 bike is equipped with the SunTour XCR fork, and has 80mm travel. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Wheels size
The Splice 2012 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Kona Splice has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, with hydraulic disk brakes, you have the ultimate braking power!
