Fork material
MAKO 8 has an aluminum fork, 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
Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
