Overview of components
Fork
The SunTour XCR is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 100mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of aluminum, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Thunder 29 Sport model has 29″ aluminum wheels. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
This bike is available in 4 sizes. They vary from 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
