Cake 3 GS components
Fork
The Cake 3 GS comes factory-installed with the Manitou fork. This has a travel range of 100mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Wheels
The Cake 3 GS 2005 bike is equipped with 26″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has 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, these are ideal for anyone.
