Overview of components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the Fox Factory Float 38 model. The travel on this model is 170mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Rear Shock
The META SX AUBERGINE has a rear shock with a travel of 160mm. The model FOX Float X2 Factory is the one installed in this bike. 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
When it comes to wheels, the META SX AUBERGINE bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Commençal META SX AUBERGINE is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. 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.
