Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the SunTour XCT model. The travel on this model is 80mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels size

Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Lux 1 has Mechanical Disc brakes. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
