Mullet SS components
Fork
The Marzocchi is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 100mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels
As for the wheels, Gary Fisher Mullet SS 2009, has a 29″ aluminum model. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Mullet SS comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Sizes
There are 5 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 156 cm – 195 cm (5.12 ft – 6.4 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
