Overview of components
Fork
The X-Caliber comes factory-installed with the Fox fork. This has a travel range of 80mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels size
The X-Caliber 2009 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
