X-Rubi I components
Fork
The Zoom is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 100mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels
As for the wheels, HEAD X-Rubi I 2022, has a 29″ aluminum model. 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.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The X-Rubi I comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, with hydraulic disk brakes, you have the ultimate braking power!
