El Oso Dos components
Fork material
El Oso Dos has an aluminum fork, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
The El Oso Dos 2017 bike is equipped with 26″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The El Oso Dos has Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Sizes
El Oso Dos comes in 3 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 187 cm (5.18 ft – 6.14 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
