Overview of components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the SunTour XCT model. The travel on this model is 100mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Dispatch 7/90 bike is equipped with the 27.5″ aluminum model. 27.5″ wheels will reach higher speeds than smaller-sized wheels. However, the overall traction of 27.5″ wheels is lower than 29″ wheels.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Dispatch 7/90 comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, with hydraulic disk brakes, you have the ultimate braking power!
