Piranha components
Fork
The Manitou 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.
Fork material
Piranha has a magnesium fork, so, it’s a bit lighter than steel. However, it is not so resistant as a fork steel is.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Piranha model has 26″ aluminum wheels. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Gary Fisher Piranha has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. 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 conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
