Fork
The Wreckoning / AXS I9 Hydra comes factory-installed with the RockShox ZEB Ultimate fork. This has a travel range of 170mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is Rockshox Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate, with a travel distance of 166mm. Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Wreckoning / AXS I9 Hydra 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, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Evil Wreckoning / AXS I9 Hydra has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Dropper post
A dropper post is included with the Wreckoning / AXS I9 Hydra. 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.
