AIM 29 components
Fork
The AIM 29 comes factory-installed with the SunTour XCT fork. This has a travel range of 100mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the AIM 29 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, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. CUBE AIM 29 has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
