Overview of components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the Suntour AION model. The travel on this model is 140mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has an aluminum one, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Rear Shock
As for the rear shock, this bike has the Suntour Edge R model, with a travel of 130mm. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels
The Release 29 1 2022 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Release 29 1 comes 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, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
There are 4 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In conclusion, you won’t have a problem finding one that suits you.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. If used correctly, a dropper post gives you more faith, maneuverability, and greater control over your bike.
