Sonic EVO AM SL 3 components

Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Sonic EVO AM SL 3 model has 29″ aluminum wheels. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, 29″ wheels will make your e-bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Sonic EVO AM SL 3 comes with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.

Dropper post
The Bulls model is also equipped with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
