Solaris XC / Gold GX + FREE AXS upgrade components
Fork
The RockShox SID Ultimate 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.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Solaris XC / Gold GX + FREE AXS upgrade 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. Cotic Solaris XC / Gold GX + FREE AXS upgrade is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
This bike is available in 5 sizes. They vary from 162 cm – 195 cm (5.31 ft – 6.4 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
Cotic Solaris XC / Gold GX + FREE AXS upgrade comes 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.
