Overview of components
Fork
The SunTour XCM is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 100mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the Giant Air rear shock model, which has a travel of 100mm. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels
The Yukon FX 2011 bike is equipped with 27.5″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. The 27.5″ wheels are a great choice for smaller riders. However, the overall traction of 27.5″ wheels is lower than 29″ wheels.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Giant Yukon FX 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!
Sizes
This bike is available in 4 sizes. They vary from 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
