Rear Shock
The SNIPER TRAIL EXPERT has a rear shock with a travel of 120mm. The model FOX Performance Elite DPS is the one installed in this bike. Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the SNIPER TRAIL EXPERT bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Intense SNIPER TRAIL EXPERT has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
Dropper post
Intense SNIPER TRAIL EXPERT comes with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
