To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Rear Shock
As for the rear shock, this bike has the RockShox Super Deluxe Coil Select+ RT model, with a travel of 150mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Spectral CF 8 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, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
