Overview of components
Fork
This e-bike has the SunTour XCR fork installed. The fork’s travel is 120mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Trail model has aluminum wheels. The 650b wheels are very similar to 700c, with a slight difference in diameter. However, they don’t perform so well when you go over bumps and obstacles.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. FLX Trail is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
